The Azure Threat Research Matrix is a structured framework designed to identify, categorize, and analyze potential threats targeting Azure environments. It serves as a comprehensive guide for security professionals to understand and mitigate risks associated with cloud services.
Key Components
Attack Tactics: Enumerates the primary goals an attacker might attempt to achieve, such as gaining initial access, executing commands, or exfiltrating data.
Techniques: Describes specific methods an attacker uses to accomplish tactics, offering insight into real-world applications of these tactics.
Mitigations: Suggests strategies and Azure-specific features that can help prevent or limit the impact of corresponding techniques.
Implementation
Regularly review and update security policies based on the matrix.
Train security teams to recognize and respond to the tactics and techniques outlined.
Utilize Azure's built-in security features and services to enforce the recommended mitigations.
This matrix is essential for maintaining the security posture of Azure environments against evolving threats.
