Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 IM-3 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_IM-3 Microsoft cloud security benchmark IM-3 Identity Management IM-3 Manage application identities securely and automatically Shared **Security Principle:** Use managed application identities instead of creating human accounts for applications to access resources and execute code. Managed application identities provide benefits such as reducing the exposure of credentials. Automate the rotation of credential to ensure the security of the identities. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure managed identities, which can authenticate to Azure services and resources that support Microsoft Entra ID authentication. Managed identity credentials are fully managed, rotated, and protected by the platform, avoiding hard-coded credentials in source code or configuration files. For services that don't support managed identities, use Microsoft Entra ID to create a service principal with restricted permissions at the resource level. It is recommended to configure service principals with certificate credentials and fall back to client secrets for authentication. **Implementation and additional context:** Azure managed identities: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview Services that support managed identities for Azure resources: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/services-support-managed-identities Azure service principal: https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/azure/create-azure-service-principal-azureps Create a service principal with certificates: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-authenticate-service-principal-powershell n/a link 15
