Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools and concepts (such as PowerShell Operational logs, Security Event logs, Defender for Endpoint, and RDP) without mentioning Linux equivalents or providing Linux-specific guidance. Examples and recommendations are tailored to Windows environments, with no parity for Linux systems running on Azure. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric incident response workflows and omits details on how to detect and respond to ransomware on Linux VMs or services.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux-based Azure VMs, including how to detect ransomware using Linux audit logs, syslog, and other native tools.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows concepts, such as monitoring /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/syslog, and bash history instead of PowerShell logs.
- Include instructions for isolating Linux VMs using Defender for Endpoint or other Azure-native controls, and clarify any differences in containment procedures.
- Reference Linux-specific ransomware detection and response tools (e.g., ClamAV, Linux EDR solutions) alongside Windows tools.
- Ensure that incident response workflows and recommendations are platform-neutral or provide parallel steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
