Azure audit securitycenter monitor endpoint protection disabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration “Monitor Endpoint Protection setting is not enabled” for Azure using Azure CLI, you can follow the below steps:

Open the Azure CLI and log in to your Azure account.
Run the following command to enable the endpoint protection setting for your Azure virtual machines:
```
az vm update --name <vm-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --set diagnosticsProfile.bootDiagnostics.enabled=true
```
Replace <vm-name> with the name of your virtual machine and <resource-group-name> with the name of the resource group where the virtual machine is located.
Once the command is executed successfully, the endpoint protection setting will be enabled for your Azure virtual machine.
To verify the configuration, run the following command:
```
az vm show --name <vm-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --query 'diagnosticsProfile.bootDiagnostics.enabled'
```
This command will return the value “true” if the endpoint protection setting is enabled for your virtual machine.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration “Monitor Endpoint Protection setting is not enabled” for Azure using Azure CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the “Monitor Endpoint Protection setting is not enabled” misconfiguration in Azure using Python, you can use the Azure SDK for Python. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Import the necessary modules:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.security import SecurityCenter

Authenticate with Azure using the DefaultAzureCredential class:

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

Instantiate a SecurityCenter client object:

security_center_client = SecurityCenter(security_center_subscription_id, credential)

Get the subscription ID for the target subscription:

subscription_id = security_center_client.subscriptions.get().id

Get the security policy for the subscription:

policy = security_center_client.policies.get(subscription_id, 'default')

Check if the “Monitor Endpoint Protection” setting is enabled:

setting = next((s for s in policy.settings if s.name == 'MonitorEndpointProtection'), None)
if setting.value == 'Off':
    setting.value = 'On'

Update the security policy with the new setting:

security_center_client.policies.create_or_update(subscription_id, 'default', policy)

This will enable the “Monitor Endpoint Protection” setting in the security policy for the target Azure subscription.
