What does Azure Security Benchmark provide?

The Azure Security Benchmark is designed to provide best practices and recommendations for securing Azure services. It offers organizations a comprehensive framework to enhance their security posture in the Azure cloud environment. This benchmark includes guidelines aligned with industry standards and compliance requirements, ensuring that organizations can effectively implement controls and measures to protect their cloud resources.

The focus on best practices helps organizations understand how to configure and manage their Azure services securely, identify potential vulnerabilities, and prioritize security efforts based on risk. This proactive approach to security is key for businesses looking to safeguard sensitive data and maintain compliance in the ever-evolving landscape of cloud security threats.

While compliance reports and real-time monitoring are important aspects of cloud security, they are not the primary focus of the Azure Security Benchmark. Additionally, pricing models for security services are not related to the core mission of the benchmark, which is centered around security guidance rather than financial aspects.
