#4 Azure Security Resources:
When building Azure VMs, remember that by default, a public IP is assigned, making RDP accessible to the internet. It's important to uncheck the public IP option unless using templates.

Use network security groups (NSGs) at the subnet level, enable bastion for secure SSH/RDP access, and set up a bastion host. Useful resources:
