About
Sprinto check: Ensure Default Network Access Rule for Storage Accounts is Set to Deny
The above-mentioned Sprinto check verifies that the default network access rule for your Azure storage accounts is set to "Deny." This setting controls the default behavior for network access to the storage account.
Purpose
The purpose of this check is to enforce a secure configuration for your Azure storage accounts by denying network access by default. Setting the default network access rule to "Deny" helps prevent unauthorized access to your storage accounts, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Only explicitly allowed network rules will be able to access the storage account.
