Top 5 ways to secure Azure resources
summary
Claims that matter: passwords are weak (more than 75% reused, >80% of breaches use stolen/weak passwords) so enable Microsoft Authenticator or FIDO2 keys (YubiKey) to stop >99% of identity attacks; enforce MFA via Conditional Access and test policies in report only mode before enabling; use Privileged Identity Management for just‑in‑time, time‑bound admin elevation and periodic access reviews; deploy Azure Firewall or well‑designed NSGs for layer 3–7 controls; add Azure Security Center/Defender and Sentinel for continuous detection and remediation.
