Granular controls are an incredibly important feature of Azure Security, allowing organizations to customize their security policies to fit the precise needs and requirements of their roles, services, and environment. It provides a powerful level of protection as employees or services can be allowed or denied access to specific resources based on pre-defined rules. Granularity not only makes organizations more secure but also helps enforce corporate policy enforcement standards. Ultimately, granular controls provide a way for today’s businesses to remain protected and compliant with industry regulations.
This can help organizations stay ahead of potential threats and reduce the chances of becoming a victim of cybercrime. By continuously monitoring compliance, not only are the chances of security breaches reduced, but it also serves as assurance that all sensitive and confidential information is secure within the organization’s systems.
