API Management service secure configuration for Standard v2 SKU

ChrisTrailight 

To securely configure Azure API Management (APIM) in Standard v2 SKU, please try these steps

1. Enable VNet Integration:
   Set the APIM instance to "Internal" mode in the VNet to restrict API traffic to internal networks.
2. Restrict Management Access:
   Use Azure AD for management authentication.
   Limit access to endpoints via Network Security Groups (NSGs) and IP whitelisting.
3. Add a WAF/Firewall:
   Deploy Azure Application Gateway with WAF or Azure Firewall to control and monitor traffic.
4. Follow Security Best Practices:
   Apply OWASP guidelines: validate inputs, use rate limiting, and enforce strong authentication.

5: Consider Premium SKU:
For full private endpoint integration and enhanced security, upgrade to the Premium tier.

This setup secures your APIM while working within Standard v2 limitations
