Use network security features

  • Article

In today's digital landscape, ensuring robust network security is paramount for safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining operational integrity. Power Platform offers comprehensive network security features, including IP firewall and Virtual Network (VNet) support, to enhance the security posture of your organization's applications and data.

IP firewall

This security control applies to only Managed Environments with Dataverse. The IP firewall feature in Power Platform provides a critical layer of security by controlling inbound traffic to Power Platform environments. This feature allows administrators to define and enforce IP-based access controls, ensuring that only authorized IP addresses can access the Power Platform environment. By using IP firewall, organizations can mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access and data breaches, which enhances the overall security of their Power Platform deployments.

Azure Virtual Network policies

This feature applies only to Managed Environments. Virtual Network (VNet) support in Power Platform enables organizations to isolate their network traffic and enforce stringent security policies. Virtual Network integration allows Power Platform environments to securely connect to on-premises networks and other Azure services, ensuring that data remains within trusted network boundaries. This feature is beneficial for scenarios requiring high levels of data protection and compliance, as it provides granular control over egress network traffic from Power Platform and helps mitigates data exfiltration risk.
