As more users need to access resources remotely, you need to ensure that <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/active-directory\/conditional-access\/untrusted-networks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)<\/a> is enabled to enhance their identity protection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Azure Security Center has a security control called Enable MFA, ideally you should remediate all recommendations that are part of this security control, as shown below:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/111d989c-3def-4546-8d39-131be97516c3.webp\" alt=\"image\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"image\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Some users might need remote access via RDP or SSH to servers that are in your Azure infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Instead of allowing full 24 x 7 access to those servers, ensure that you are using <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/security-center\/security-center-just-in-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Just-In-Time (JIT) VM access to those servers<\/a>.

Some of the workloads (servers, containers, databases) that will be accessed remotely by users might be missing critical security updates.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Review the Remediate vulnerabilities control in Azure Security Center to prioritize the updates that must be installed. Make sure to review the result of all recommendations in <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/security-center\/built-in-vulnerability-assessment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">built-in vulnerability assessment<\/a> and remediate those items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dbf0ab1b-ee96-4bad-87e3-24a8f81f5e8f.webp\" alt=\"image\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"image\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security posture management is an ongoing process.
