SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Azure cloud environments often suffer from inconsistent hardening and governance; this skill provides baseline controls to enforce identity, access, and resource security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conditional Access baselines: MFA enforcement for all users and block of legacy authentication.
  • PIM governance: privileged roles require activation and approval, removing standing admin assignments.
  • Defender for Cloud integration: recommendations are applied with monitoring of unhealthy resources.
  • KQL validation: queries to identify high-severity gaps like public storage and legacy-auth sign-ins.

Quick Start

Activate the cloud hardening baseline across your Azure tenant to enforce access, permissions, and resource security.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce Conditional Access baselines to block legacy authentication in Azure?

Azure Conditional Access baselines are enforced by configuring MFA for all users and creating policies to block legacy authentication. This skill applies these baseline controls across identities to secure your Azure tenant.

What is the best way to remove standing administrator assignments using PIM governance?

PIM governance removes standing administrator assignments by requiring privileged role activation and approval. This skill implements these controls to enforce just-in-time access and reduce privileged identity exposure.

How does KQL validation identify high-severity security gaps in Azure resources?

KQL validation identifies high-severity gaps by querying SigninLogs and SecurityResources for public storage access and legacy-auth sign-ins. This skill uses these queries to validate configurations and monitor unhealthy resources.

Can I use Defender for Cloud recommendations to monitor and harden unhealthy Azure resources?

Defender for Cloud recommendations can be applied to monitor and remediate unhealthy Azure resources. This skill integrates these recommendations to enforce baseline security controls across your cloud environment.

What baseline controls are needed to harden Azure storage and key vaults?

Baseline controls to harden Azure storage and key vaults include blocking public access and enforcing secure configurations. This skill implements these resource security measures based on established security benchmarks.

Does this skill apply security benchmarks across identities, access, and resources?

This skill applies security benchmarks across identities, access, and resources by enforcing Conditional Access, PIM governance, and resource hardening. It validates the applied configurations using KQL query evidence.
