Control: Azure > CIS v5.0 > 8 - Security Services > 8.01 - Microsoft Defender for Cloud > 8.01.07 - Defender Plan: Databases > 8.01.07.01 - Ensure That Microsoft Defender for Azure Cosmos DB Is Set To 'On'

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2

Microsoft Defender for Azure Cosmos DB scans all incoming network requests for threats to your Azure Cosmos DB resources.

In scanning Azure Cosmos DB requests within a subscription, requests are compared to a heuristic list of potential security threats. These threats could be a result of a security breach within your services, thus scanning for them could prevent a potential security threat from being introduced.

By default, Microsoft Defender for Azure Cosmos DB is not enabled.
