Azure Cloud Visibility Best Practices Cheat Sheet
This cheat sheet outlines practical steps for improving visibility and security in Azure environments. It highlights key risks such as data breaches, over-permissions, misconfigurations, and lack of monitoring, all of which stem from limited visibility. To address these, it recommends adopting the shared responsibility model, implementing agentless scanning, centralizing monitoring, and automating risk detection. It also emphasizes contextual risk prioritization to focus on the most critical threats. The checklist on page 3 reinforces these actions, including continuous scanning, integrating native and third-party tools, and identifying “toxic combinations” of risks. Overall, the guide shows that strong visibility is the foundation for proactive cloud security.
