# Private Endpoint

A Private Endpoint in Azure is a network interface that securely connects you to an Azure service using a private IP address from your virtual network. This allows traffic between your virtual network and the service to travel entirely over the Microsoft backbone network, eliminating exposure to the public internet and enhancing security.
