The VM-Series for Azure natively analyzes all traffic in a single pass to determine the application identity, the content within, and the user identity. These business relevant elements are then used as integral components of your security policy, resulting in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time. Traffic flowing into, and across your Azure deployment is identified and secured based on the application identity, while sophisticated cyber threats detected within the application flows are prevented and web activity is strictly controlled with URL filtering. Policies can be user-based, granting access to applications based on the user need, their credentials, or their device type regardless their location. To help streamline management, a rich set of APIs can be used to integrate with external orchestration and management tools, collecting information related to workload changes which can then be used to dynamically drive policy updates.
