Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows and Windows Server are explicitly mentioned as examples for SMB 3.0 encryption, with no equivalent Linux example provided. The only protocol-specific encryption example is SMB 3.0, which is a Windows-centric technology. Additionally, among the referenced blog posts about Microsoft Defender for Cloud, the PowerShell attack detection is highlighted before Linux attack detection, and Windows tools (Sysmon) are referenced without Linux alternatives. No Linux-specific tooling or command-line examples are given, and the documentation does not mention Linux equivalents for encryption, monitoring, or troubleshooting patterns.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific examples for encryption in transit and at rest (e.g., mention NFS encryption, SSH/SCP, or Linux SMB clients).
  • Provide parity in protocol examples, such as referencing SMB 3.0 for Windows and NFSv4.2 with encryption for Linux.
  • Add Linux command-line or configuration examples (e.g., using openssl, cryptsetup, or Linux Keyring for client-side encryption).
  • Reference Linux-native monitoring and troubleshooting tools (e.g., auditd, syslog, or Linux equivalents to Sysmon).
  • Ensure blog post references are balanced, mentioning Linux attack detection and mitigation before or alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly state that Azure services support both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide guidance for securing both platforms.
