Seeking Guidance on Ensuring Robust Security for Azure Deployments

Hi qy.product

Greetings,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Check your application's performance before you launch it or deploy updates to production. Use Azure Load Testing to run cloud-based load tests to find performance problems in your application, improve deployment quality, make sure that your application is always up or available, and that your application can handle traffic for your launch.

Install a web application firewall

Web applications are increasingly targets of malicious attacks that exploit common known vulnerabilities. Common among these exploits are SQL injection attacks and cross-site scripting attacks. Preventing these attacks in application code can be challenging. It might require rigorous maintenance, patching, and monitoring at many layers of the application topology. A centralized WAF helps make security management simpler. A WAF solution can also react to a security threat by patching a known vulnerability at a central location versus securing each individual web application.

The Azure Application Gateway WAF provides centralized protection of your web applications from common exploits and vulnerabilities. The WAF is based on rules from the OWASP core rule sets 3.0 or 2.2.9.
