Azure Network

Analyzer: Azure Network

The Azure Network Analyzer provides insights into your networking infrastructure, including Virtual Networks (VNets), DNS configurations, and VPN setups. This Analyzer is essential for IT Operations (IT Ops) and Security Operations (Sec Ops) engineers to gain visibility into network configurations, monitor compliance, and optimize operational performance.

From a security perspective, it identifies misconfigurations such as insecure security groups or risky subnets that could expose resources to unauthorized access. From a compliance standpoint, it ensures that VNets and related resources align with organizational policies and regulatory standards. For operational observability, the analyzer tracks the health and configuration of networking components to maintain efficient and reliable connectivity.
