Securing Cosmos DB: Ready for Production!

Getting started with Cosmos DB is super easy and you get the scalability and global reach out of the box. For production scenarios we often have additional requirements for security, that could span from restricting public endpoints to auditing user actions on data. In this session, we will go through the different security capabilities available for Cosmos DB, focusing deeper on networking and access control. We will cover how to control networking and use private endpoints with Cosmos DB, as well as how the global nature of the service makes these different from the rest of the services in Azure. We will also explore the different options for access control on the data in Cosmos DB and particularly how the newest addition to the mix, Cosmos DB RBAC, can help keep your data secure.
