Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Defender for IoT alert reference demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Several alert types and descriptions specifically mention Windows processes and services (e.g., 'Unauthorized Windows Process', 'Unauthorized Windows Service', 'Suspicion of Remote Code Execution with PsExec', 'Suspicion of Remote Windows Service Management'), and malware alerts focus on Windows-specific threats (e.g., WannaCry, NotPetya, DoublePulsar, Conficker). There are no Linux-specific process/service alerts or malware examples, and Windows terminology appears before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific alert types and examples, such as unauthorized Linux process/service detection, SSH brute force, or Linux-targeted malware (e.g., Mirai, Bashdoor).
- Include references to Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd services, Linux process monitoring) alongside Windows examples.
- Balance malware alert examples to include both Windows and Linux threats.
- Where process/service alerts are described, clarify that similar alerts apply to Linux/Unix systems and provide equivalent terminology.
- Review alert descriptions to ensure parity in coverage for Linux-based OT/IT environments.
