To view recommendations regarding the security of Azure App Service web apps and Azure functions, you should access Azure Advisor. Azure Advisor is a free service provided by Azure that offers personalized recommendations based on best practices and usage patterns for Azure resources.

Azure Advisor scans your resources and analyzes resource configuration and usage telemetry data to provide recommendations across various categories, including high availability, security, performance, and cost optimization. In the case of security, Advisor provides recommendations on security-related configurations, such as network security, identity and access management, and data protection.

To access Azure Advisor, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com).

    • Typing "Advisor" in the search box and selecting "Azure Advisor" from the search results
