Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Sentinel's Fusion technology demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While the content is largely platform-neutral, several attack detection scenarios specifically reference Windows-centric technologies (such as PowerShell and WMI) and provide examples that are focused on Windows environments. These examples are listed before any Linux/macOS equivalents, and there is no mention of Linux-specific attack patterns, tools, or detection scenarios. The absence of Linux/macOS examples or references may make it harder for non-Windows users to relate the guidance to their environments.
Recommendations
- Include Linux/macOS-specific attack detection scenarios and examples, such as suspicious Bash commands, SSH brute force, or anomalous sudo usage.
- Add references to Linux/macOS data sources (e.g., syslog, auditd, OSSEC) in the scenario tables and descriptions.
- Provide parity in examples by listing Linux/macOS attack patterns alongside Windows ones, rather than focusing on PowerShell and WMI.
- Clarify that Fusion can correlate signals from Linux/macOS endpoints and provide guidance on connecting and configuring these data sources.
