There are additional costs for managed disks based off of disk space allocated. When converting to managed disks, VMs will be powered off and back on.

Migrate blob-based VHDs to Managed Disks on Virtual Machines to exploit the default features of this configuration. The features include: 1) Default Disk Encryption 2) Resilience, as Microsoft will managed the disk storage and move around if underlying hardware goes faulty 3) Reduction of costs over storage accounts Managed disks are by default encrypted on the underlying hardware, so no additional encryption is required for basic protection. It is available if additional encryption is required. Managed disks are by design more resilient that storage accounts. For ARM-deployed Virtual Machines, Azure Adviser will at some point recommend moving VHDs to managed disks both from a security and cost management perspective.

System Component Inventory | Automated Unauthorized Component Detection

Shared

(a) Detect the presence of unauthorized hardware, software, and firmware components within the system using [Assignment: organization-defined automated mechanisms] [Assignment: organization-defined frequency]; and (b) Take the following actions when unauthorized components are detected: [Selection (one or more): disable network access by such components; isolate the components; notify [Assignment: organization-defined personnel or roles] ].

Automated unauthorized component detection is applied in addition to the monitoring for unauthorized remote connections and mobile devices. Monitoring for unauthorized system components may be accomplished on an ongoing basis or by the periodic scanning of systems for that purpose. Automated mechanisms may also be used to prevent the connection of unauthorized components (see CM-7(9)). Automated mechanisms can be implemented in systems or in separate system components. When acquiring and implementing automated mechanisms, organizations consider whether such mechanisms depend on the ability of the system component to support an agent or supplicant in order to be detected since some types of components do not have or cannot support agents (e.g., IoT devices, sensors). Isolation can be achieved , for example, by placing unauthorized system components in separate domains or subnets or quarantining such components. This type of component isolation is commonly referred to as “sandboxing.”

Security Monitoring

Generating Alerts

Shared

1. Logging data is enriched with other network knowledge and data when investigating certain suspicious activity or alerts. 2. A wide range of signatures and indicators of compromise is used for investigations of suspicious activity and alerts. 3. Alerts can be easily resolved to network assets using knowledge of networks and systems. The resolution of these alerts is performed in almost real time. 4. Security alerts relating to all essential functions are prioritised and this information is used to support incident management. 5. Logs are reviewed almost continuously, in real time. 6. Alerts are tested to ensure that they are generated reliably and that it is possible to distinguish genuine security incidents from false alarms.

Evidence of potential security incidents contained in your monitoring data is reliably identified and triggers alerts.

Security Monitoring

Identifying Security Incidents

Shared

1. Select threat intelligence sources or services using risk-based and threat-informed decisions based on the business needs and sector (e.g. vendor reporting and patching, strong anti-virus providers, sector and community-based info share, special interest groups). 2. Apply all new signatures and IoCs within a reasonable (risk-based) time of receiving them. 3. Receive signature updates for all the protective technologies (e.g. AV, IDS). 4. Track the effectiveness of the intelligence feeds and actively share feedback on the usefulness of IoCs and any other indicators with the threat community (e.g. sector partners, threat intelligence providers, government agencies).

Contextualise alerts with knowledge of the threat and the systems, to identify those security incidents that require some form of response.
