Azure makes it simple to deploy PaaS services—but simplicity can come at a cost: network exposure and compliance risks. Many organizations still rely on the “next-next-next” approach, only to discover later that critical resources are publicly accessible or out of compliance.

In this session, we’ll break down the evolution of network access protection for Azure PaaS resources—from costly isolated SKUs to Service Endpoints, Private Endpoints, Private Link, and now the game-changing Network Security Perimeter. You’ll learn which options fit your security and compliance requirements, how to design secure architectures without breaking agility, and practical steps to lock down your PaaS resources today.

If you’re an IT professional, security architect, developer, or cloud operator, this session will help you move beyond defaults and build truly secure Azure PaaS solutions.

Key Takeaways:

Understand the Risk: Why “next-next-next” deployments leave PaaS resources exposed and non-compliant.

Learn the Evolution: From isolated SKUs to Private Endpoints and the new Network Security Perimeter—what’s changed and why it matters.

Design Secure Architectures: Practical strategies to balance agility, cost, and compliance when securing Azure PaaS.
