Control: 4.3.7 Ensure 'Allow access to Azure services' for PostgreSQL Database Server is disabled
Description
It is recommended to disable access from Azure services to PostgreSQL Database Server. When access from Azure services is enabled, the server's firewall will accept connections from all Azure resources, including resources not in your subscription. This is usually not a desired configuration. Instead, setup firewall rules to allow access from specific network ranges or VNET rules to allow access from specific virtual networks.
Remediation
From Console
Perform the following action to check whether access from Azure services is enabled:
- Login to Azure console and navigate to PostgreSQL Servers.
- For each database, go to
Settingssection from left pane. - Click on
Connection security. - In Firewall rules, ensure
