Tips: Best Practices for The Other Azure Storage Resources

In addition to the azurerm_storage_account, Azure Storage has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.

risk-label

azurerm_storage_account

Ensure to use HTTPS connections

It is better to use HTTPS instead of HTTP, which could be vulnerable to person-in-the-middle attacks.

risk-label

azurerm_storage_account_network_rules

Ensure to allow Trusted Microsoft Services to bypass

It is better to allow Trusted Microsoft Services to bypass. They are not able to access storage account unless rules are set to allow them explicitly.

Review your Azure Storage settings

In addition to the above, there are other security points you should be aware of making sure that your .tf files are protected in Shisho Cloud.
