To further protect its Azure customers, Microsoft has announced a variety of security-related enhancements for the platform - and Security Center in particular - at Ignite 2019.
Azure Sentinel
First up is better threat protection for cloud resources by way of Azure Sentinel, the security information and event management (SIEM) offering from Microsoft's cloud. This means that any threat can be investigated, hunted and correlated with other signals quicker.

Sentinel also now has built-in hunting queries for Linux and network events, the ability to launch Azure Notebooks straight from the SIEM solution, and new analytics and investigation tools to offer better insights on suspicious URLs.
Azure Security Center
At the conference, the Redmond giant has also announced that Security Center is getting a number of enhancements, including workflow automation using Azure Logic Apps, better integrations with continuous export, better alerts and recommendations, onboarding of on-premises services to Security Center via Admin Center, and Azure Security Center Community. The last one is a centralized GitHub that's open to contributors.

Azure Firewall Manager (public preview)
Last but not least is Firewall Manager - now available in public preview -, which is a "cloud-native firewall-as-a-service" capability. It allows enterprise clients to govern and log traffic flows using a DevOps approach. It supports application and network-level filtering rules and it integrates with the Microsoft Threat Intelligence feed.
