Tutorial: Monitor protection summary (preview)

  • Article

In this article, you learn how to monitor and govern protection estate, using Azure Business Continuity center (preview) overview pane.

The Azure Business Continuity Center overview pane provides a comprehensive snapshot of your resources from various aspects, such as protection status, the configuration of your security settings, and which resources are protected or not protected. It provides a summarized view from different angles to give you a clear overview of your business continuity status. You can view:

  • The protectable resources count
  • The protected item and their status.
  • Assessment score for security configuration.
  • Recovery point actuals for protection items.
  • Compliance details for applied Azure policies.
