To remediate the misconfiguration “Enable Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps Integration” for Azure using Python, you can follow the below steps:
-
First, you need to install the Azure Python SDK using the following command:
pip install azure-mgmt-resource
-
Next, you need to authenticate with Azure using a Service Principal. You can create a Service Principal in Azure and get the credentials. Then, use the following code to authenticate with Azure:
from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials subscription_id = 'your-subscription-id' credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials( client_id='your-client-id', secret='your-client-secret', tenant='your-tenant-id' )

After getting the client, you need to get the resource group where the Azure Defender for Cloud Apps Integration needs to be enabled. You can use the following code to get the resource group:
resource_group_name = 'your-resource-group-name' resource_group = client.resource_groups.get(resource_group_name)
-
Next, you need to enable the Azure Defender for Cloud Apps Integration for the resource group. You can use the following code to enable it:
from azure.mgmt.security import SecurityCenter security_center_client = SecurityCenter(credentials, subscription_id) security_center_client.auto_provisioning_settings.create_or_update( resource_group_name, { 'name': 'default', 'properties': { 'auto_provision': 'On' } } )
