2.2.1.1 Ensure public network access is Disabled (Automated)
Description
Disable public network access to prevent exposure to the internet and reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Use private endpoints and Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to securely manage access within trusted networks.
Rationale
Disabling public network access improves security by ensuring that a service is not exposed on the public internet.
Impact
Disabling public network access restricts access to the service. This enhances security but may require the configuration of private endpoints for any services or users needing access within trusted networks.
Audit Procedure
This is a Common Reference Recommendation. Audit and remediation procedures with full details will be found in the section dedicated to each specific service where this recommendation applies:
- Storage Services > Storage Accounts > Networking > "Ensure that 'Public Network Access' is 'Disabled' for storage accounts"
- Storage Services > Azure Elastic SAN > "Ensure 'Public network access' is set to 'Disabled' on Azure Elastic SAN"
- Storage Services > Azure Backup > Recovery Services Vaults > "Ensure public network access on Recovery Services vaults is Disabled"
Expected Result
The Public network access setting should be set to Disabled for the service.
Remediation
