Mitigate identified risks

Mitigate identified risks

Let's use an example scenario where you're a cybersecurity architect that is recommending security capabilities and controls to mitigate and identified risk. During the identification of the risk, you found a production subscription that has ten Azure storage accounts that are widely open to the Internet. Then during the assessment phase, you've determined that five of these storage accounts have low impact in case of compromise. The low impact is because they don't contain any important or intellectual property type information. However, you found the five other storage accounts could have a high impact in case of compromise. Then for the response for the first five is to tolerate the risk. These are okay. It's not going to impact the business. While the other five will need to be improved by adding technical controls to mitigate the risk. In this case, enabling the firewall on the network of the storage account.
