Description​

Turning on Microsoft Defender for Key Vault enables threat detection for Key Vault, providing threat intelligence, anomaly detection, and behavior analytics in the Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

Rationale​

Enabling Microsoft Defender for Key Vault allows for greater defense-in-depth, with threat detection provided by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC).

Impact​

Turning on Microsoft Defender for Key Vault incurs an additional cost per resource.

Audit​

This policy flags an Azure Subscription as INCOMPLIANT if the related Azure Defender Plan for Key Vaults has its Pricing Tier set to Free.

A Subscription is also marked as INCOMPLIANT if the Defender Plan for Key Vaults does not exist in the CMDB.

Default Value​

By default, Microsoft Defender plan is off.
