How is endpoint security implemented in Azure?

Endpoint security in Azure is primarily implemented through Azure Security Center and Azure Defender. These tools provide a robust suite of security services that help protect Azure resources from threats by continuously monitoring the environment, assessing security configurations, and providing recommendations for improvement. Azure Defender extends these capabilities to protect against a wide array of potential vulnerabilities and threats in various cloud workloads such as virtual machines, databases, and containers.

The core functionality of Azure Security Center includes the ability to manage security policies, assess security statuses, and respond to threats automatically. Azure Defender enhances this by providing threat protection, advanced security capabilities, and incident response features.

This specific focus on security management and threat detection differentiates Azure Security Center and Azure Defender from the other options, which do not directly relate to endpoint security. For example, code reviews and pull requests are best practices for maintaining code quality rather than specific security measures. Ensuring project requirements focus on achieving business objectives, while using GitHub for version control is primarily concerned with source code management and collaboration, not security itself. Therefore, the use of Azure Security Center and Azure Defender is crucial for implementing effective endpoint security in Azure environments.
