AZ 305- Azure Solutions Architect Expert - Topic 02 - Secure Remote Access to Web Applications Using Azure AD Application Proxy and Enterprise Applications

Scenario Hospitals often face challenges when providing secure remote access to internal applications without VPN access. This article explores how to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for remote staff accessing an on-premises web application using Azure AD Application Proxy and Azure AD Enterprise Applications. A hospital has an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant synced with its on-premises Active Directory. The hospital uses an internal web application called PatientRecordsApp, which is hosted on-premises and uses Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) for secure access.

Security as a Functional Requirement- A Paradigm Shift in System Engineering

In the medical industry, where machines monitor and manage patient life, security is crucial. Consider a scenario where a hospital’s networked devices, such as infusion pumps, heart monitors, or ventilators, are compromised by a cyberattack. A hacker gaining control over these devices could alter dosages, manipulate vital signs, or disrupt the functionality of critical life-support systems, putting patients’ lives at immediate risk. Such incidents highlight the critical importance of security in patient care.

In Azure DevOps, CI/CD forms the cornerstone of modern software delivery. With Continuous Integration (CI), code changes are automatically merged and verified multiple times a day, ensuring early detection of issues. This seamless integration is followed by Continuous Deployment (CD), where these validated changes are swiftly and reliably deployed to production or testing environments. Azure DevOps empowers teams to automate and streamline the entire software delivery process, from code writing to deployment, encouraging agility and quality throughout the development lifecycle.
