The Azure Virtual Network Manager has released the security management rules configuration feature in 45 regions, which is now generally available. Users can enforce security policies for virtual networks across subscriptions and regions globally. These rules are assessed before Network Security Groups (NSGs) to ensure consistent security measures and compliance with company policies. The feature aims to prevent configuration errors and ensure uninterrupted services. Microsoft uses security management rules to secure Azure deployments and enforce network isolation within organizations. This helps manage security efficiently and reduce operational complexities, with default settings to prevent errors in NSG configuration. Users can simplify and enhance network security in growing environments with this feature. Traffic allowed or denied by security management rules can be monitored using virtual network flow logs. For more information, see the public documentation on Security Management Rules Concepts and Documenting Virtual Network Flow Logs.
