Security

Azure Stream Analytics provides a number of inbuilt security mechanics in areas such as authentication, authorization, auditing, segmentation, and data protection. Let's quickly review them.

• Authentication support: Authentication support in Azure Stream Analytics is done at portal level. Users should have a valid subscription ID and password to access the Azure Stream Analytics job.
• Authorization: Authorization is the process during login where users provide their credentials (for example, user account name and password, smart card and PIN, Secure ID and PIN, and so on) to prove their Microsoft identity so that they can retrieve their access token from the authentication server. Authorization is supported by Azure Stream Analytics. Only authenticated/authorized users can access the Azure Stream Analytics job.
• Support for encryption: Data-at-rest using client-side encryption and TDE.
• Support for key management: Key management is supported through ingress and egress points.
