Ensure that an Azure activity log alert is used to detect "Update Security Policy" events within your Microsoft Azure cloud account. Activity log alerts get activated when a new activity log event that matches the condition specified in the alert occurs. In this case, the required alert condition is 'Whenever the Security Activity Log "Update security policy (Microsoft.Security/policies)" has "any" level, with "any" status and event is initiated by "any"'.
This rule resolution is part of the Conformity Security & Compliance tool for Azure.
Monitoring your Azure cloud account for "Update Security Policy" events can provide insight into the security policy changes made in your Azure cloud account and can help reduce the time it takes to detect unsolicited changes.
