Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific concepts (such as Security Event log and PowerShell Operational logs) without mentioning Linux equivalents. It also links to Defender for Endpoint documentation that is Windows-focused and omits examples or guidance for Linux-based Azure VMs. The language and tooling recommendations are oriented toward Windows environments, with no parity for Linux detection, logging, or response patterns.
Recommendations
- Add explicit references to Linux audit and syslog equivalents when discussing event log clearing and monitoring (e.g., /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/audit/audit.log).
- Provide examples of ransomware detection and response for Linux-based Azure VMs, including relevant commands and tools (such as auditd, fail2ban, or Linux EDR integrations).
- When mentioning PowerShell logs, also mention bash/zsh history or Linux shell auditing as relevant for Linux environments.
- Ensure that links and references to Defender for Endpoint or XDR tools clarify Linux support and provide links to Linux-specific documentation.
- Balance recommendations by including both Windows and Linux perspectives in detection, containment, and recovery steps.
