|
|
Queries Azure Monitor activity logs and sign-in logs via azure-monitor-query to
|
|
detect suspicious administrative operations, impossible travel, privilege escalation,
|
|
and resource modifications. Builds KQL queries for threat hunting in Azure environments.
|
|
Use when investigating suspicious Azure tenant activity or building cloud SIEM detections.

# Analyzing Azure Activity Logs for Threats
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing azure activity logs for threats
|
|
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
|
|
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
|
|
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Familiarity with security operations concepts and tools
|
|
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
|
|
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
|
|
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Use azure-monitor-query to execute KQL queries against Azure Log Analytics workspaces,
|
|
detecting suspicious admin operations and sign-in anomalies.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
|
|
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient
|
|
from datetime import timedelta
|
|
|
|
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
|
|
client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
|
|
|
|
response = client.query_workspace(
|
|
workspace_id="WORKSPACE_ID",
|
|
query="AzureActivity | where OperationNameValue has 'MICROSOFT.AUTHORIZATION/ROLEASSIGNMENTS/WRITE' | take 10",
|
|
timespan=timedelta(hours=24),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Key detection queries:
|
|
1. Role assignment changes (privilege escalation)
|
|
2. Resource group and subscription modifications
|
|
3. Key vault secret access from new IPs
|
|
4. Network security group rule changes
|
|
5. Conditional access policy modifications
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Detect new Global Admin role assignments
|
|
query = '''
|
|
AuditLogs
|
|
| where OperationName == "Add member to role"
|
|
| where TargetResources[0].modifiedProperties[0].newValue has "Global Administrator"
|
|
'''
|
|
```
