Control: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 08 - Virtual Machines > 08.05 - Ensure that 'Disk Network Access' is NOT set to 'Enable public access from all networks'

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Virtual Machine Disks and snapshots can be configured to allow access from different network resources.

The setting 'Enable public access from all networks' is, in many cases, an overly permissive setting on Virtual Machine Disks that presents atypical attack, data infiltration, and data exfiltration vectors. If a disk to network connection is required, the preferred setting is to 'Disable public access and enable private access.'
