In this video, I will show you how to create a virtual machine (VM) using PowerShell script, associate a network security group (NSG) to a subnet, restrict RDP access to only your IP address, and use Microsoft Defender for Cloud to secure your VM.
Azure VMs are a popular choice for running workloads in the cloud, but it is important to secure them properly to protect them from threats. This topic will discuss how to use PowerShell script, NSG, RDP, and Defender for Cloud to secure your Azure VMs.
Creating a VM using PowerShell script:

PowerShell scripts can be used to automate the creation of Azure VMs. This can be useful for large-scale deployments or for creating VMs with specific configurations.

Associating a NSG to a subnet:

An NSG is a network security group that can be used to control inbound and outbound traffic to a subnet. Associating an NSG to a subnet can help to protect your VM from unauthorized access.

Restricting RDP access to only your IP address:

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a protocol that allows you to remotely connect to a Windows VM. Restricting RDP access to only your IP address can help to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to your VM.

Using Microsoft Defender for Cloud to secure your VM:

Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a security service that helps you to protect your Azure resources from threats. Defender for Cloud can provide recommendations for how to improve the security of your VMs.

Conclusion:

By using PowerShell script, NSG, RDP, and Defender for Cloud, you can secure your Azure VMs from threats. This will help to protect your data and workload from unauthorized access.
