If you're having trouble at any stage please contact us at support@skyformation.com.
NOTE
If you need to collect Azure Active Directory (AAD) event as well you should use to the SkyFormation for Office 365 connector for that. The AAD access events (e.g. login failed, login success) are collected as well as anomaly and risk events.
Preface
Azure is a suite of cloud services platform, provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) services. Azure helps organizations consume compute power and needed services, all without the need to buy or manage hardware.
Azure National Clouds support
Azure National Clouds (aka Sovereign clouds) are physically isolated instances of Azure. These regions of Azure are designed to make sure that data residency, sovereignty, and compliance requirements are honored within geographical boundaries.
The SkyFormation for Azure connector supports the entire available Azure National Clouds.
To configure your SkyFormation for Azure connector to support any of the National Clouds please see the needed step at our Azure connector guide:
Adding Azure Connector To SkyFormation Platform
Azure Audit Sources & Events Supported
For general information on Azure audit sources and logs please visit:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/azure-log-audit
IMPORTANT AUDIT COVERAGE CHECK TO DO:
The availability of the Azure services including services as security & compliance and audit services depends on the Azure region in many cases. To verify what Azure audit sources and coverage will be available for you using the SkyFormation Azure connector, please:
- Open this link https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/regions/services/ and go to the "Monitoring + Management" section.
- In the "Monitoring + Management" section look for the availability of the following monitoring services at the Azure regions you are using:
- Log Analytics
- Security & Compliance
- Protection & Recovery
- If the services mentioned above are not available at any of the Azure regions you are using, audit logs and event from the service will most likely not be available.
