Protect: Proactive Security Solutions for Your Digital Future

We implement a rigorous multi-layered security strategy in shared environments:

• Network Segmentation: Network Security Groups (NSGs) and Azure Firewall are used to create micro-segmented zones, isolating workloads and reducing the attack surface.
• Subscription and Resource Group Isolation: We strategically organize subscriptions and resource groups for logical separation and to enforce administrative boundaries.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): We meticulously apply the principle of least privilege, using Azure RBAC and custom roles for fine-grained access management.
• Azure Policy: We enforce security baselines and governance across environments using Azure Policy for consistent configurations and compliance.
• Monitoring & Alerting: Azure Security Center provides a consolidated view of security posture, with built-in and custom alerts for proactive threat detection.

Yes, we specialize in compliance-driven Azure security. Our approach includes:

• In-depth Assessment: We use the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework to map your compliance requirements to Azure controls.
• Secure Configuration: We apply Azure Security Benchmarks and industry-specific best practices to your environment.
• Azure Policy for Enforcement: We leverage Azure Policy to maintain continuous compliance and prevent configuration drift.
• Evidence Generation: Azure Monitor and other tools provide detailed logs and audit trails to support your compliance reporting.
• Ongoing Collaboration: We partner with you for regular compliance reviews and adjustments based on evolving regulations.

Our IAM strategy centers on Microsoft Entra ID and prioritizes secure access and centralized control within your complex Azure environment. We consolidate identities and enforce strong authentication using multi-factor authentication (MFA). We customize access policies based on location, device, and risk levels (conditional access). Elevated administrative rights are tightly managed with Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and we strictly adhere to the principle of least privilege with Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

We employ a multi-layered defense for Azure SQL:

• Encryption at Rest and in Transit: Azure Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and TLS ensure your data is always protected.
• Advanced Threat Protection: We enable Azure SQL ATP for detecting anomalous activity, vulnerabilities, and SQL injection attempts.
• Azure Firewall and NSGs: Network-level controls restrict access and filter traffic to your SQL databases.
• Auditing and Logging: We configure Azure SQL auditing for visibility and analysis of database events.
• Vulnerability Assessment: We leverage Azure Security Center recommendations and conduct regular vulnerability scans.

We implement a multi-pronged data protection strategy for robust recoverability:

• Azure Backup: We leverage Azure Backup for automated, scheduled backups of virtual machines, databases (Azure SQL/PaaS offerings), and file shares. These backups are stored in geo-redundant Azure storage for resilience.
• Replication & Failover: For mission-critical applications and data, we configure Azure Site Recovery for replication to a secondary region, enabling rapid failover in the event of major disruption.
• Immutable Storage: We utilize Azure Blob Storage with immutability features to safeguard backups against accidental deletion or malicious modification, making them impervious to ransomware attacks.
• Versioning: We enable point-in-time restore capabilities to recover from logical corruption or accidental changes.
• Backup Testing: We conduct regular, rigorous tests of our backup and recovery procedures to ensure they meet your defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
• Disaster Recovery Plan: We work with you to develop a comprehensive disaster recovery plan that details orchestration, communication, and testing procedures for different failure scenarios.

We employ a comprehensive edge security strategy with a focus on data protection and prioritize safeguarding your sensitive data at the edge. Our approach centers on a data-centric mindset, implementing multiple layers of protection to account for the unique vulnerabilities of edge environments. This includes device-level encryption, secure data transmission, strict network segmentation, and a Zero Trust model focused on identity verification and least privilege access. We leverage Azure's integrated security features for the edge, like Azure IoT Hub Security, continuous monitoring, and vulnerability management. This multi-pronged approach ensures strong data protection even in the less controlled edge landscape.
