Microsoft Adds Custom Cloud Assessments to Azure Security Center

[Tapushe Rabaya Toma]

Azure Security Center, Microsoft cloud-based security platform for customer instances, now supports custom assessments, allowing users to tailor the system to their needs.

In its standard form, Azure Security Center uses a set of over 150 rules that are used to harden an operating system, spanning firewalls, password policies and other factors that contribute to the system software's security posture.

Azure instances that stray from these rules trigger a security recommendation, alerting users that their virtual machines are vulnerable to attack, unauthorized access and other malicious activities that can lead to a data breach or service disruption.
