Cloud environments scale fast—and without guardrails, they scale chaotically. As teams move quickly, resources can be deployed with insecure configurations, inconsistent tagging, or unexpected cost implications. Left unchecked, this sprawl creates operational risk and makes compliance difficult to prove.
Azure Policy acts as your built-in compliance enforcer. #AutoRemediate #AzurePolicy #compliance #governance #policy

Protocols like POP, IMAP, SMTP, and older Office clients were designed decades ago, long before modern identity threats existed.
