Summary

The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias, primarily through references to Windows-specific logging (Security Event log and PowerShell Operational logs) and containment guidance that implicitly assumes Windows endpoints (e.g., Defender for Endpoint isolation links to Windows documentation). There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or logs mentioned. While the page is Azure-focused and not strictly Windows-only, it overlooks Linux VM scenarios and cross-platform detection/response patterns.

Recommendations

Include examples or references for detecting ransomware on Linux-based Azure VMs, such as monitoring syslog, auditd, or Linux-specific security logs.
Mention Linux-compatible security tools (e.g., Defender for Endpoint for Linux, Azure Security Center for Linux VMs) and provide links to relevant documentation.
Balance references to Windows-specific logs (e.g., Security Event log, PowerShell logs) with Linux equivalents (e.g., /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/audit/audit.log).
Add containment and isolation guidance for Linux VMs, including command-line examples (e.g., using Azure CLI or SSH to isolate a Linux VM).
