Control: 5.1.7 Ensure Public Network Access is Disabled

Description

Disabling public network access restricts the service from accessing public networks.

A secure network architecture requires carefully constructed network segmentation. Public Network Access tends to be overly permissive and introduces unintended vectors for threat activity.

Remediation

From Azure Portal

Go to SQL servers.
For each SQL server, under Security, click Networking.
Set Public network access to Disable.
Click Save.

Default Value

By default, Azure SQL Server's Public network access is set to Disable.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run azure_compliance.control.cis_v300_5_1_7

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run azure_compliance.control.cis_v300_5_1_7 --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

select
  s.id as resource,
  case
    when public_network_access = 'Enabled' then 'alarm'
    else 'ok'
  end as status,
  case
    when public_network_access = 'Enabled' then name || ' public network access enabled.'
    else name || ' public network access disabled.'
  end as reason
  
  , s.resource_group as resource_group
  , sub.display_name as subscription
from
  azure_sql_server as s
  left join azure_subscription sub on sub.subscription_id = s.subscription_id;
