Storage Account – Enable Secure Transfer
This check ensures that secure transfer is enabled for Azure Storage Accounts. Enabling secure transfer forces all requests to use HTTPS, protecting data in transit from interception or tampering.
Check Details
- Resource: Storage Account
- Check: Enable Secure Transfer
- Risk: If secure transfer is disabled, data may be sent over unencrypted HTTP, increasing the risk of data exposure or man-in-the-middle attacks.
Remediation via Azure Portal
-
Log in to the Azure Portal.
-
Navigate to Storage accounts and select the affected
storage account.
-
In the left menu, click on Configuration under Settings.
-
Locate the Secure transfer required setting and ensure
it is set to Enabled.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Remediation via Azure CLI
-
Open Azure Cloud Shell in the Azure Portal.
-
Run the following command to enable secure transfer:
az storage account update \ --name <storage-account-name> \ --resource-group <resource-group-name> \ --https-only true
Replace <storage-account-name> and
<resource-group-name> with your actual values.
