Which Azure service helps organizations implement security policies for hybrid cloud environments?

Azure Arc is the right choice for organizations seeking to implement security policies in hybrid cloud environments. It provides a way to manage and secure resources that are not only in Azure but also across on-premises and other cloud environments. By extending Azure management capabilities to these resources, Azure Arc allows organizations to apply consistent security policies, compliance standards, and operational governance regardless of where their services and applications reside.

The ability to group and manage servers, Kubernetes clusters, and applications across various environments helps ensure that security compliance is maintained uniformly. Azure Arc thus plays a pivotal role in enabling a holistic approach to security across diverse infrastructures, making it easier for organizations to implement security measures that are in line with their policies.

Services like Microsoft Defender for Identity focus primarily on identity protection, while Azure Sentinel is primarily a security information and event management (SIEM) tool that provides advanced threat detection and response capabilities for security incidents. Security Center, on the other hand, primarily provides a centralized view for Azure resources to protect them through security recommendations and assessments but does not extend as comprehensively as Azure Arc does for hybrid environments.
