About This Architecture
Hybrid cloud security architecture integrating Azure-native services with third-party and on-premises security tools across identity, compute, and governance layers. Data flows from external/edge protection through identity and access controls into hybrid compute workloads, with centralized security operations monitoring via Microsoft Sentinel SIEM/SOAR. This blueprint demonstrates zero-trust principles using Azure Entra ID, Conditional Access, Azure Bastion, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud alongside like-for-like alternatives like SentinelOne EDR and Delinea PAM. Security architects can fork this diagram to customize provider selections, adjust hybrid/cloud ratios, or document their own multi-cloud defense posture. The architecture balances Azure-native cost efficiency with flexibility to retain existing security investments during cloud migration.
