Well, Azure Security Center is now also helping you identifying (or more importantly provides a better visibility) on misconfigured network access – identified as Restrict unauthorized network access.
To start reviewing your network security and apply recommendations connect to your Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/) and access the Security Center

The Restrict unauthorized network access provides the following recommendations:
- IP forwarding on your virtual machine should be disabled
- Authorized IP ranges should be defined on Kubernetes Services (Preview)
- Virtual machines should be associated with a Network Security Group
- CORS should not allow every resource to access your API App
- CORS should not allow every resource to access your Function App
- CORS should not allow every resource to access your Web Application
- Remote debugging should be turned off for API App
- Remote debugging should be turned off for Function App
- Remote debugging should be turned off for Web Application
- Access should be restricted for permissive Network Security Groups with Internet-facing VMs
- Network Security Group Rules for Internet facing virtual machines should be hardened
