Explanation in Terraform Registry
Manages the Security Center Assessment Metadata for Azure Security Center.
NOTE: This resource has been deprecated in favour of the
azurerm_security_center_assessment_policy
resource and will be removed in the next major version of the AzureRM Provider. The new resource shares the same fields as this one, and information on migrating across can be found in this guide.
Tips: Best Practices for The Other Azure Security Center Resources
In addition to the azurerm_security_center_contact, Azure Security Center has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.
azurerm_security_center_contact
Ensure to enable alert notifications
It is better to configure at least one valid contact for the security center. Microsoft will inform you directly in the event of a security incident using emails.
azurerm_security_center_subscription_pricing
Ensure to enable alert notifications
It is better to enable Azure Defender, which is a cloud workload protection service for App Services. In addition, It is also able to analyze non-Azure resources, utilizing Azure Arc, including those on-premises and in both AWS and GCP.
Microsoft.Security/assessmentMetadata (Azure Resource Manager)
The assessmentMetadata in Microsoft.Security can be configured in Azure Resource Manager with the resource name Microsoft.Security/assessmentMetadata
. The following sections describe how to use the resource and its parameters.
