Securing Web App and Linux VM

Question

Hi There,

I wanted to know what is the best way to secure the Dataiku DSS instance (Web Application) and the Linux VM.

I wanted to use Azure Front Door to secure the Dataiku DSS Web Application and Azure Bastion for Linux VM.

I wanted to know if my approach regarding Azure Front Door and Azure Bastion is correct?

Thank You.

Answer 1

These are fantastic ways to secure your services. For a Web App, typically an Application Gateway or Front Door is best if you would like your Web App behind a WAF.

To secure a Virtual Machine, Azure Bastion is fantastic if you have multiple users connecting to the machine, along with auditing. If you only have one user logging in from a single IP, a NSG rule might be all that is needed. Remember to block SSH access from the Public IP of the VM if it has one.
