Azure audit securitycenter defender endpoint integration remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “Ensure That Defender For Cloud Integration Is Enabled” for Azure using Python, you can use the Azure SDK for Python to enable the integration of Defender for Cloud. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Install the Azure SDK for Python using the following command:

pip install azure-mgmt-security

Create an Azure Active Directory (AD) application and service principal. You can follow the instructions in this Microsoft document to create the application and service principal.
Create an Azure credential object using the service principal credentials. Here’s an example code snippet:

from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials

subscription_id = '<your-subscription-id>'
client_id = '<your-client-id>'
client_secret = '<your-client-secret>'
tenant_id = '<your-tenant-id>'

credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(
    client_id=client_id,
    secret=client_secret,
    tenant=tenant_id
)

Use the Azure SDK for Python to enable the Defender for Cloud integration. Here’s an example code snippet:

from azure.mgmt.security import SecurityCenter

security_center_client = SecurityCenter(credentials, subscription_id)

defender_for_cloud = security_center_client.settings.get('defenderForCloud')
defender_for_cloud.properties['status'] = 'On'
security_center_client.settings.create('defenderForCloud', defender_for_cloud)

This code snippet retrieves the current Defender for Cloud settings, sets the status to “On”, and updates the settings.

Run the Python script to remediate the misconfiguration.

After running the script, the Defender for Cloud integration will be enabled for your Azure environment.
