Azure NSG Basics: What is a Network Security Group?

Episode description

Being able to filter and manage the network traffic to and from your Azure resources is critical for improving the security of your cloud environment. With the help of Network Security Groups (NSGs), you’ll be able to block or allow traffic depending on its origin, destination, port or protocol. In this ACG Fundamental, we’ll explain what an NSG is, how it’s different to firewalls, how you can leverage it to control incoming and outgoing traffic and rules.
