Leo Visser | OGD ict-diensten

Session Info
Do you know for sure that your application server connects to the private endpoint of your database and not the public one? Azure networking has a lot of different endpoint options, and figuring out which one is being used can be a hassle at times. Not knowing how your data flows can create issues with your compliance and security. With the help of flow logging, you can visualize your network traffic. Just being able to see how your traffic flows can often already give a lot of insights. Utilizing the data gathered from the flow logs can help you identify attack vectors in your environment that you previously missed, and it can help you with your compliance needs. During this talk, I will show you how to set up these logs and use them to monitor your environment.
