What is the purpose of using Azure Security Center?

Using Azure Security Center primarily serves the purpose of monitoring and protecting applications and resources within Azure environments. It provides a centralized dashboard and tools for assessing security risks, detecting vulnerabilities, and implementing security policy compliance. The Security Center helps organizations gain visibility into their security posture, monitor access controls, ensure configuration best practices, and respond to threats in real time.

The focus on protecting applications includes features like continuous security assessment, threat detection, and response capabilities. By leveraging these functions, organizations can proactively manage their security needs and mitigate risks associated with their Azure resources. This makes it an essential resource for maintaining robust security measures in cloud environments, thus ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of applications.

In contrast, managing code repositories, creating deployment pipelines, and debugging application errors pertain to different aspects of software development and operations that are not the primary focus of Azure Security Center.
