In the third instalment of "Tines, securing your cloud infrastructure" we look at two stories designed to save money and resources and close potential security gaps in your Azure environment.

Firstly, we'll address the task of Updating groups assigned to a user in Azure Active Directory which allows admins to update a user's group membership in Azure Active Directory. This is essential for adding extra security to accounts flagged for suspicious activity and protecting the team & company as a whole. Secondly, we'll delve into the imperative process of deallocating and deleting unnecessary virtual machines in Azure while raising corresponding tickets. Efficient resource management in the cloud environment not only optimizes costs but also mitigates vulnerabilities. The story showcases how Tines' automation streamlines this process, ensuring unnecessary virtual machines are promptly addressed, enhancing your cloud infrastructure's resilience.

Throughout this webinar, we'll discuss the technical intricacies, best practices, and the seamless orchestration between Tines and Azure. Our aim is to equip you with actionable insights to enhance your cloud security strategy, leveraging the prowess of Tines' automation capabilities within the Azure framework.
