Ensure That Microsoft Defender for Open-Source Relational Databases Is Set To 'On'

Why This Matters

Without Microsoft Defender enabled for open-source relational databases, your Azure environment lacks advanced threat detection for these resources. Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in unmonitored databases, potentially leading to data exfiltration or unauthorized access. Enabling this service provides behavioral analytics and threat intelligence from the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC).
