VIEW RULE IN DATADOG VIEW SIGNALS

Set up the azure integration.

Description

This rule detects Azure AD groups with dangerous key vault roles. It specifically detects the assignment of Key Vault Administrator and Key Vault Contributor.

Rationale

Assigning these key vault roles to Azure AD groups can unintentionally grant broad access to sensitive secrets, certificates, and encryption keys. Removing these assignments helps prevent privilege escalation, unauthorized access, and potential data breaches through misconfigured role assignments.

Remediation

Review the group membership and assess whether the assigned roles are necessary. If access is not justified, remove the roles or assign more restrictive, least-privilege alternatives that align with the principle of minimum access.
