Pipeline: 3.1.7.1 Ensure That Microsoft Defender for Azure Cosmos DB Is Set To 'On'

Description

Microsoft Defender for Azure Cosmos DB scans all incoming network requests for threats to your Azure Cosmos DB resources.

In scanning Azure Cosmos DB requests within a subscription, requests are compared to a heuristic list of potential security threats. These threats could be a result of a security breach within your services, thus scanning for them could prevent a potential security threat from being introduced.

Go to Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
Under Management, select Environment Settings.
Click on the subscription name.
Select the Defender plans blade.
On the Database row click on Select types >.
Set the toggle switch next to Azure Cosmos DB to On.
Click Continue.
Click Save.

From Azure CLI

Run the following command:

az security pricing create -n 'CosmosDbs' --tier 'standard'

From Powershell

Use the below command to enable Standard pricing tier for Azure Cosmos DB

Set-AzSecurityPricing -Name 'CosmosDbs' -PricingTier 'Standard

Default Value
