Adding an Azure Cloud Infrastructure Connection

Cloud Infrastructure Sync allows us to monitor your company’s cloud IP footprint and automatically update it when addresses are changed or replaced.

Setting up this feature takes less than 15 minutes. Once complete, we begin collecting your IPs and a self-published report is generated within 3-5 business days. We’ll scan your AWS infrastructure multiple times per day and will make any updates that are consistent after two consecutive 24 hour periods.

The Azure subscriptions that you’d like Bitsight to help you monitor can be selected during the permissions setup on step 3. You can choose to include any number of Azure subscriptions during this process.

Step 1: Add Account Info

1. Navigate to the Cloud Infrastructure Sync page in the Attack Surface section.
2. Select the Add Connection dropdown.
3. Select Microsoft Azure.
4. Enter a name for the connection. Optionally, you may also enter a description. The name and description identify the connection; the self-published company can have a different name, and will be named in step 2.
5. Select Continue.

Step 2: Confirm Self-Published Company

A new self-published company based on the Azure infrastructure in the account you added will be created. This way, you can have a self-published company and rating for your Azure infrastructure.

Self-published companies are managed like any other subsidiary in your Ratings Tree. They’re classified as company-provided infrastructure because the IPs are provided via an automated sync with your company.

1. Select a parent company for the self-published company.
2. Enter a name for the self-published company, e.g., “Saperix, Inc. Azure.”
3. Enter the primary domain associated with the parent.
4. Enter a description for the self-published company, e.g., “Saperix, Inc. Azure Infrastructure.”
5. Select a visibility setting for the self-published company. Cloud Infrastructure Sync assets impact your rating regardless of your choice during setup.
6. Select Continue.

Step 3: Set Up Sync Permissions

This step contains a link to instructions for setting up sync permissions. The instructions will guide you through setting up permissions for a single Azure subscription or multiple subscriptions.

This setup includes the minimum required permissions; we recommend leaving them as-is, but you may change or remove them as needed. Changing permissions may affect Cloud Infrastructure Sync's ability to monitor your cloud infrastructure.

1. Download the Configuration Instructions.
2. Download the Configuration File (PEM).
3. Complete the steps in the instructions.
4. Select Finish Adding Connection.
