Default Azure policy*

Does default azure policy pose any security issues? I see that most engineers prefer using default policies rather than custom. Whenever there is a cyber attack at Microsoft, it will hit these default policies first. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

    Hi @AJ · Thank you for reaching out.

    The Default Azure policies are suggested to be used as these are designed as per best practices. Very unlikely, but if there is a cyber attack there are strategies to rollback the datacenters to their healthy states.
