Threat Detection Disabled for SQL Databases

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the threat detection disabled misconfiguration for SQL Databases in Azure using Azure CLI, follow these steps:

Open the Azure CLI and login to your Azure account using the command:
```
az login
```
Once you are logged in, select the Azure subscription where your SQL database is located using the command:
```
az account set --subscription <subscription_id>
```
Replace <subscription_id> with the ID of the Azure subscription where your SQL database is located.
Enable threat detection for your SQL database using the command:
```
az sql db threat-policy update --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server <server_name> --database <database_name> --state Enabled
```
Replace <resource_group_name> with the name of the resource group where your SQL database is located, <server_name> with the name of your SQL server, and <database_name> with the name of your SQL database.
Verify that threat detection is enabled for your SQL database using the command:
```
az sql db threat-policy show --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server <server_name> --database <database_name>
```
This command will display the current threat detection policy for your SQL database. Ensure that the state parameter is set to Enabled.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of threat detection being disabled for SQL databases in Azure using Azure CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the threat detection disabled for SQL databases in Azure using Python, follow these steps:

Import the necessary modules:

from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
from azure.mgmt.sql import SqlManagementClient

Set the required variables:

subscription_id = 'your-subscription-id'
resource_group = 'your-resource-group'
server_name = 'your-server-name'
database_name = 'your-database-name'

Authenticate to Azure using the Service Principal credentials:

credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(
    client_id = 'your-client-id',
    secret = 'your-client-secret',
    tenant = 'your-tenant-id'
)

Instantiate the SQL Management Client:

sql_client = SqlManagementClient(
    credentials=credentials,
    subscription_id=subscription_id
)

Enable the threat detection for the specified database:

threat_detection_policy = sql_client.databases.get_threat_detection_policy(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    server_name=server_name,
    database_name=database_name
)

threat_detection_policy.state = 'Enabled'

sql_client.databases.create_or_update_threat_detection_policy(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    server_name=server_name,
    database_name=database_name,
    parameters=threat_detection_policy
)

Verify that the threat detection is enabled for the specified database:

updated_threat_detection_policy = sql_client.databases.get_threat_detection_policy(
    resource_group_name=resource_group,
    server_name=server_name,
    database_name=database_name
)

print('Threat detection is now {}'.format(updated_threat_detection_policy.state))

By following these steps, you can remediate the threat detection disabled for SQL databases misconfiguration in Azure using Python.
