Azure Security Center
Azure Security Center is a unified security management and advanced threat protection service for hybrid cloud workloads. It provides continuous assessment of security posture, threat detection, and actionable recommendations to strengthen security across Azure, on-premises, and other cloud environments. The platform integrates with Azure Defender to offer enhanced protection against sophisticated attacks.
Developers and security teams should use Azure Security Center when managing cloud-based applications in Azure to ensure compliance, detect vulnerabilities, and respond to threats in real-time. It is particularly valuable for organizations with hybrid cloud deployments, as it centralizes security management and provides automated security policies and incident response capabilities.
