Summary

The most important lesson in this chapter is to understand the shared responsibility model in Azure. Microsoft takes care of some parts of security, especially in terms of physical security, but we need to take care of the rest.

With Azure networking, integrity, availability, and monitoring, we don't have any influence and can't change anything (at least in the sections we discussed here). However, they are important to understand as we can apply a lot of things in the parts of security that we can manage. They will also provide more context and help us to better understand the complete security setup in Azure.

In the next chapter, we will move on to identity, which is one of the most important pillars of security. In Azure, identity is even more important, as most services are managed and accessible over the internet. Therefore, we need to take additional steps to make identity and access secure and bulletproof.
