Summary
The documentation page provides security mitigation guidance for a variety of Azure services and technologies, but several examples and recommendations are Windows-centric. Many code samples and configuration instructions use Windows-specific technologies (e.g., ASP.NET, WCF, web.config, ServicePointManager), and there is a lack of Linux/macOS equivalent examples or explicit parity guidance. Windows tools and patterns (such as URL Rewrite in web.config, ServicePointManager for certificate pinning, and references to Windows Azure Blob MD5) are mentioned without Linux alternatives, and Windows clients are referenced before or instead of cross-platform options.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalent examples for enforcing HTTPS, such as using nginx or Apache configuration for URL rewriting and HSTS.
  • Include cross-platform code samples for certificate pinning (e.g., using Python, Java, or Node.js).
  • Mention Linux-compatible SMB clients (e.g., mount.cifs with SMB 3.x) when discussing Azure Files encryption.
  • Reference cross-platform database connection encryption and validation methods (e.g., using JDBC, ODBC, or other non-Windows drivers).
  • Clarify when recommendations or examples are Windows-specific and provide links or guidance for Linux/macOS users where possible.
