Azure_VirtualNetworks_155

VirtualMachine with unencrypted Cassandra Internode Communication (TCP:7000) is exposed to a large network scope

Description

Services and databases store data that may be sensitive, protected by law, subject to regulatory requirements or compliance standards. It is highly recommended that access to data will be restricted to encrypted protocols. This rule detects network settings that may expose data via unencrypted protocol over the public internet or to a too wide local scope.

Remediation

Configure your database to only allow access over encrypted protocols in internal networks.

If public interface exists, remove it and limit the access scope within the VNET only to applications or instances that requires access.
