Can Azure Security Center evaluate the security of workloads deployed to Azure or on-premises?

Azure Security Center is designed to provide unified security management and advanced threat protection for workloads both in Azure and on-premises environments. Its capabilities include assessing the security posture of your applications, virtual machines, and services, regardless of their actual deployment location.

By utilizing Azure Security Center, organizations benefit from continuous security assessments and actionable recommendations that can be applied to mitigate risks and enhance security configurations across their entire infrastructure, whether in the cloud or on-premises. This versatility makes it a robust tool within the Microsoft security ecosystem, ensuring that all workloads receive the necessary security oversight, thereby improving overall security hygiene.

This comprehensive approach to security assessments underscores the importance of managing both cloud and on-premises environments effectively, enabling organizations to maintain consistent security standards across all their operational contexts.
