Azure Network Security Groups (NSG) are used to filter network traffic to and from resources in an Azure Virtual Network. If you’re coming from AWS-land, NSG’s combine Security Groups and NACL’s.

If that doesn’t sound appealing to you yet, here are some of the many things you could Splunk with your network traffic logs from Azure.
