Ensure That Microsoft Defender for App Services Is Set To 'On'

Why This Matters

Microsoft Defender for App Services provides threat intelligence, anomaly detection, and behavior analytics against attacks targeting your web apps. Without this protection enabled, your App Service instances are vulnerable to common threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and credential stuffing that the platform would otherwise detect automatically. Enabling Defender for Cloud for App Services is a critical defense-in-depth measure that gives you early warning of malicious activity.
