About Defender for Cloud aggregated logs in Advanced Hunting
Hi, I create this threat hoping that the Microsoft team will read and hopefully provide insights about future changes and roadmap. When SOC teams use a non-Microsoft SIEM/SOAR, they need to export logs from M365 and Azure, and send them to the third-party SIEM/SOAR solution. • For M365 logs, there is the M365XDR connector that allows exporting logs using an Event Hub. • For Azure logs, we used to configure diagnostics settings and send them to an Event Hub. This began to change with new features within Defender for Cloud (c.f. picture).: • Defender for Resource Manager now sends Azure Activity logs to M365XDR portal, and can be exported using M365XDR Streaming API • Defender for Storage now sends logs to M365XDR portal, and can be exported using M365XDR Streaming API (c.f. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yraeks8c8hg&t=1s). This is great as it is easy to configure and doesn't interfere with infrastructure teams managing operational logs through diagnostic settings. I have two questions : • Is there any documentation about this? I didn't find any? • What can we expect in the future weeks, months regarding this native logs collection feature through various Defender for Cloud products? For example, can we expect Defender for SQL to send logs to M365XDR natively? Thanks for you support!
Is setting an index tag in Azure Defender for Cloud during file write an atomic operation?
Hi, When using Azure Defender for Cloud, is setting an index tag at the same time as writing a file considered an atomic operation? Or is there a propagation delay before the tag becomes fully available and effective for search and policy enforcement? Any insights or official documentation references would be appreciated!
MISRA support in Defender
I want to check for MISRA C code compliance. The idea is to check for MISRA C compliance when asking for a Pull Request. If the code fails on those checks, the PR will not be created. This way, we enforce MISRA compliance before integrating the code to the repository. I am not seeing MISRA in the list of standards under - Regulatory Compliance>>Subscriptions>> Security Po;iciesRuntime protection - Microsoft Defender for Cloud DevOps Security (Defender CSPM)
Hi team! The current support status for Microsoft Defender for Cloud DevOps Security (Defender CSPM) and runtime protection across services are this one : Fully Supported for Runtime Protection Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) are there more runtime in the product roadmap (Azure Container Apps, AWS, Fargate for Amazon ECS, Azure Functions, AWS Lambda)? ThanksOnboarding MDE with Defender for Cloud (Problem)
Hello Community, In our Customer i have a strange problem. We onboarded with Azure Arc server and activate a Defender for Cloud servises only for Endpoint protection. Some of this device onboarded into Microsoft Defender portale, but not appears as a device, infact i don't have opportunity to put them into a group to apply policy. I have check sensor of Azure Arc and all works fine (device are in Azure Arc, are in the defender portal and see them on Intune (managed by MDE)). From Intune portal From Defender portal But in difference from other device into entra ID exists only the enterprise application and not device I show the example of device that works correctly (the same onboarding method) Is there anyone who has or has had this problem? Thanks and Regards, Guido
Microsoft Defender for Cloud - Servers & Apps Question
Hi, while learning about the Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC) Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), I have seen below points. Servers: When we opt for MDC CWP for servers, I see Agentless scanning for machines and along with it below, But we already have "Carbon Black" which handles the above role of Guest Configuration agent. So, my question is, If I enroll for MDC - Cloud workload protection: As we need to have a security/defender tool installed on Azure machines (In this case Guest Configuration agent). Would this then replace "Carbon Black" as we already, have it? Or do we see this MDC - Cloud workload protection for Servers as additional apart from Carbon Black? Apps: We have our Azure Apps protected by Cloudflare and VNet Integration which are with our firewall-based routes, do we still need to enroll for App Service protection by MDC CWP. Please advise on above 2 areas. ThanksDefender for Servers
Defender for servers is part of Defender for Cloud CWP. We do not use this product, however we have interest in logging Servers both on-premise and multi cloud tenants to Sentinel workspace. Couple of ways to accomplish: Defender for Servers in passive - Since we're currently not subscribed can we get data in with ARC + AMA + Defender extension across multi cloud tenant? Objective is to NOT pay for Defender for Servers p1/p2 instead log Events for detections Azure Monitor Agent and Data Collection Rule with logging level (Common, Minimal, Custom) I've ideas on both but I'm leaning towards Defender for Servers in passive with Defender Extension and AMA. Will this automatically get charge as part of Defender for Server CWP or it flat out won't work if not enabled? I can't get straight answer on this from anyone and I don't have full blown tenant owner permission to test this. When asked there is wait time to get response from other teams. I'm interested getting data in via Defender in Passive relying and relaying partner as Defender Extension and ARC+AMA. Let me know your thoughts!
DevOps Security: MDC-ADO integration through Service account
Hi All, Is it possible to integrate MDC-ADO Integration with Service Account? When I attempted to authorize ADO in MDC during the integration process, it appears to only accept individual accounts. Does anyone have insights on how to utilize a Service Account for this integration?Cost Calculator for Defender for Cloud (Public Preview)
Did you know Microsoft Defender for Cloud has a built-in cost calculator to easily calculate the costs of protected resources in your cloud environment? No? Well, I didn’t either until I stumbled upon the button in the MDC portal myself. Apparently, Microsoft announced the preview for the MDC cost calculator last month, on February 19, 2025. With this post, I’m sharing my experience with this new cost calculator for Microsoft Defender for Cloud, providing guidance and comparing available options to calculate the costs. https://myronhelgering.com/cost-calculator-for-defender-for-cloud/Sensitivity Data Flag will not be deleted after Settings are changed
We have a lot of storage accounts which are flaged with risk factor "Sensitive Data" which also means all storage Accounts which have this label have risklevel critical. We deactivated Sensitive Data Scan but nothing happens As I got it correct once a resource is flagged with "Sensitive Data" the flag will not delete anymore What we did so far: turn off/on/off… the data scanning turn off/on/off Data sensitivity deselect all of different data sensitivity categories like Finance, PII, and Credentials turn off/on/off threshold for sensitive data labels turn off/on complete Defender There is also a support ticket where the support can the recommendation was to open a discussion here to have the product team look at this error (#2502031420002278)
