About This Architecture
WPS Microsoft-First Azure Security Architecture implements a comprehensive zero-trust hub-and-spoke topology with Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Firewall Premium, and Sentinel-driven SOC governance across global offices. Traffic flows through Azure Front Door with WAF and DDoS Protection into a central security hub, then routes to application and data spoke VNets via Azure Virtual WAN and ExpressRoute hybrid connectivity. Identity verification uses Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, and Managed Identities; workloads span App Service, AKS, Function Apps, and API Management with Private Link endpoints to SQL Database, Cosmos DB, and Data Lake Storage. This architecture demonstrates Microsoft security best practices for regulated enterprises requiring multi-region resilience, least-privilege access, and unified threat detection via Defender for Cloud and Log Analytics. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize for your organization's compliance requirements, office locations, or workload patterns. The design prioritizes defense-in-depth with NSGs, Azure Bastion for secure admin access, and Azure Policy for governance enforcement.
