This minimizes exposure of the resources in case of user/service account compromise.", "Recommendation": "Remove any excessive privileges granted on the Redis Cache. Assign 'Redis Cache Contributor' RBAC role to developers who manages Redis Cache configurations.

While this may not be feasible in all scenarios, when it can be used, it provides an extra layer of access control protection for critical assets.", "Recommendation": "Enable firewall and add rules specifying permitted IPs/ranges.
