services / Azure / Security Partner Provider

A Security Partner Provider routes traffic through a third-party security service (e.g. a cloud-delivered firewall) for inspection before it reaches its destination.

Sits in the traffic path as a security-inspection hop; removing or rerouting it disables inspection or diverts traffic away from the intended security service.

Joining a Security Partner Provider lets a principal bind a resource to an attacker-chosen inspection path it does not otherwise control, bypassing the intended segmentation/inspection control; flagged Not Alertable.
