Azure

EASM supports Azure integrations to expand the functionality of various EASM capabilities. EASM is can identify a range of exposures and cloud security vulnerabilities including:

  • Public domain and IP address exposures across multiple Azure services

  • Azure Storage accounts with weak security configurations such as use of Shared Key authorization or use of insecure, weak, or deprecated communication and encryption protocols

  • Azure Storage accounts with overly permissive network access policies

  • Azure Storage Containers and Blobs with overly permissive access policies

Azure Audit Scanner

The Azure Audit Security Scanner runs in addition to our existing Azure integrations and performs in-depth security checks on your Tenant and Subscription accounts. When the scanner no longer detects a vulnerability, the associated finding is automatically marked as remediated.

To enable the Azure Audit Security Scanner, contact your client delivery manager after following the integration steps below.

The following services are audited:

Entra-ID (Tenant-level):

  • App Registrations
  • Service Principals
  • Groups
  • Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
  • Entra Roles
  • Authorization Policies
  • Guest Users

Azure Subscription Services:

  • API Management
  • App Configuration
  • Application Gateway
  • Automation Accounts
  • Virtual Machines
  • Container Instances
  • Container Registry (ACR)
  • Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
  • Cosmos DB
  • Key Vault
  • Logic Apps
  • Azure Monitor
  • Network Security Groups
  • PostgreSQL Flexible Server
  • Azure SQL
  • Storage Accounts
  • Synapse Analytics
  • App Services / Functions
  • Resource Groups
  • RBAC / IAM

These and future Azure-focused EASM capabilities can be enabled by following the integration steps below.
