by Guest AlexanderZagranichnov- 0 replies
- 0 views
As a security analyst or incident responder, you not only want to closely observe everything happening in an environment, but also react quickly and efficiently once malicious activity is detected. While Microsoft 365 Defender has powerful detection capabilities, it also provides response actions at the file, device and user level, that can be triggered both manually and automatically. During widespread security incidents, where threat containment is the number one priority, actions must be taken on multiple entities based on specific criteria. The ability to perform these actions quickly, ensures a timely response to threats and saves precious analyst and responde…

AKS Review - 2.1: Identity & Access Control - Cluster, Operator & Pod Identity
by Guest ormeikop-msft- 0 replies
- 0 views
Identity & Access Control The first thing to cover regarding Identity & Access Control is the cluster and operator identity, which means identity access control for the cluster itself and for people who are going to interact with the API server of the cluster. The other important part is pod identity. Cluster Identity Let’s start with identity access control of the cluster itself. When you are creating an AKS cluster, the cluster will get an identity in Azure. This identity is the one that the control plane of the cluster uses to interact with Azure resources and manage cluster resources, including ingress load balancers and AKS managed pu…

Public and private AKS clusters demystified
by Guest HoussemDellai- 0 replies
- 0 views
Introduction Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is the managed kubernetes service in Azure. It has two main components: worker nodes and control plane. The worker nodes are the VMs where customer applications will be deployed into. The control plane is the component that manages the applications and the worker nodes. A Kubernetes operator like a user, devops team or a release pipeline who wants to deploy applications, will do so using the control plane. Worker nodes and operators will need to access the control plane. The control plane is critical and is fully managed by Azure. By default, it is exposed on a public endpoint accessible over the internet. It c…

Lesson Learned #285: Why can I still telnet to port 1433?
by Guest Jose_Manuel_Jurado- 0 replies

Some days ago, we received a question from a customer that has a firewall rule on from selected networks on the Azure SQL Server and they found when they use telnet to connect to servername.database.windows.net on port 1433 from other locations that are not allowed in their firewall. I would like to explain why. Basically, it is explained on this Azure SQL Database gateway IP addresses. A Azure SQL Database server is an abstraction, a logical container that defines a grouping of databases. It does not represent a SQL Server instance listening in a public address and represent a single connection endpoint for all the databases. For example if you ping a ser…

Recovering from Attack Surface Reduction rule shortcut deletions
by Guest Scott Woodgate- 0 replies
- 0 views
On January 13th, Windows Security and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint customers may have experienced a series of false positive detections for the Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rule "Block Win32 API calls from Office macro" after updating to security intelligence build 1.381.2140.0. These detections resulted in the deletion of certain Windows shortcut (.lnk) files that matched the incorrect detection pattern. There is no impact for customers who do not have the “Block Win32 API calls from Office macro” rule turned on in block mode or did not update to security intelligence update build 1.381.2140.0. For currently impacted customers: what do I need to do? Impac…
