Secure your Azure environment with Astra Cloud Vulnerability Scanner

Connect Astra in minutes and gain continuous visibility into misconfigurations, IAM risks, and compliance gaps across your Azure subscriptions — all from one unified dashboard.

Why this  integration matters ?

Your Azure subscriptions evolve at a rapid pace; new resource groups, service principals, role assignments, and network flows appear daily. Without deep, ongoing scanning, hidden risks accumulate silently. With Astra’s Azure integration, you get true cloud-native coverage that keeps up with your dynamic workloads.

Benefits:

Agentless, read-only Azure connection – get started in minutes.

Azure-specific rule-set: detect storage, network, role-based access, and compute misconfigurations.

Unified dashboard – view Azure alongside your AWS & GCP environments for full multi-cloud clarity.

Key features of integrating Azure with Astra Cloud Scanner

Built-for-Azure scanning: automatically discover thousands of Azure resource types (subscriptions, resource groups, role assignments, storage accounts, virtual networks, managed identities) and assess them.

Hundreds of cloud-specific rules: detect issues like over-broad Reader/Contributor assignments, unsecured storage accounts, mis-scoped service principals, or unmanaged network endpoints.

Continuous discovery & monitoring: as new Azure resources are spun up, Astra automatically rescans — ensuring your risk view stays current.

Guided remediation: for each finding you receive, step-by-step context and remediation guidance, and watch your security grade improve once you act.

Transparent pricing: connect Azure subscriptions with no agents, no hidden fees, and predictable pricing built for modern teams.

How it works ?

In the Azure Portal, grant the Reader (and optionally, the Security Reader) role to a service principal at the subscription (or resource group) scope.

Create/register a service principal (application) in Azure AD and collect: Application(Client) ID, Tenant ID, Client Secret, Subscription ID.

In Astra, connect your Azure account by choosing the subscription(s) or resource group(s) you want to scan.

Astra discovers Azure resources — storage accounts, role assignments, virtual networks, and managed identities.

Scanning begins automatically. Misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and high-risk IAM assignments get identified and prioritised.

Use Astra’s dashboard to remediate and validate. Once fixes are applied, your cloud security grade improves in real-time.

Pricing & cost considerations

Connect your Azure subscriptions with no hidden fees.

Your pricing stays predictable even as your cloud scales.

Do I need to install agents in my Azure subscription?

No. Astra uses read-only Azure APIs and requires no agents or impact on performance.

Can I connect multiple subscriptions or resource groups?

Yes—add multiple subscriptions, resource groups or management groups from a single interface.

How often does Astra re-scan Azure resources?

Scanning is continuous; whenever a resource is created or modified, Astra evaluates it.

What kind of export or report is available?

You can export findings, remediation steps, and proof-of-fix for audit or compliance review.
