It is now easier for Azure App Service customers to secure web apps by enabling Defender for App Service – part of Microsoft Defender for Cloud’s Cloud Native Application Platform (CNAPP) solution. The Better Together experience is designed to enhance your development journey by recommending and deploying the right services precisely when you need them, focusing especially on Azure App Service, Azure Container Apps (ACA), and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). In this blog, we will discuss the importance of securing your web apps and explore the new enablement options. Why secure my web apps in the first place? Organizations of all sizes are moving their application development process to the cloud at a rapid pace, becoming more productive with the help of generative AI, and are therefore, developing and publishing apps at speed and scale. While this helps businesses grow and quickly get their applications in the hands of those that need it, it also creates a larger attack surface and more opportunity for bad actors to exploit their resources. In addition to the growing attack surface, users are downloading and inputting their information into apps every day – oftentimes, without thinking twice – thanks to the dramatic adoption of smart devices. Cloud resources have their own identities, which developers use within specific cloud architectures, and without the right protections, these identities can be exploited by attackers. Securing web apps involves safeguarding both their front-end gateway and runtime through native and agentless detection methods. Compromised web apps can lead to data theft (e.g., storage, files, keys, databases), crypto mining, ransomware attacks, DDoS incidents, and significant disruptions to production availability. Securing these applications is essential to prevent unauthorized access that could result in serious consequences.
