Accesing Azure Security Center API with Powershell Invoke-RestMethod

Accessing Azure Security Center API with Powershell Invoke-RestMethod

Listing missing patches on Azure VMs with Collection Results API

Listing Alerts using the Alert API, such as RDP brute force attempts showing failed and successful logons:

The following will allow you monitor or set your Azure Security Center settings via Powershell/REST

Getting started:

You will first need to provision a service principal that can access your Azure subscription (Windows Azure Service Management API), so your REST call can auth into your subscription.  

1. • Procedure https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-group-create-service-principal-portal/

2. Save the following: application name, client id, client secret (key) , note: you can’t recall the key.. so important to save it at time of creation.

Via Azure Portal - Subscriptions, Subscription - IAM

Set subscription access (you can change this at anytime) :  

• read (view ASC status, policy)
• contribute (change/update ASC policy, ack alerts)

Plan on how you will use the ASC API: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt704039.aspx

Azure Security resources listed in red:

Example, we are interested in Azure Security Status:   https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt704041.aspx

We will use the following: https://<endpoint>/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/microsoft.Security/securityStatuses?api-version={api-version}

CODE:

Output for $request.value

Selecting the first resource group [0] and listing ASC properties

Outputting two ASC properties from collection 0

$Request.value[0].properties.antimalwarescannerdata

$Request.value[0].properties.patchscannerdata

Setting ASC policy via API.

Showing settings via $Request.properties

• all recommendations
• no email notification
• free tier

To set ASC policy, we create the following json for a PUT request

  "properties": {
 "logCollection": "On",
 "recommendations": {
 "patch": "On",
 "baseline": "On",
 "antimalware": "On",
 "acls": "On",
 "waf": "Off",

 "vulnerabilityAssessment": "On",
 "storageEncryption": "On"
 },
 "securityContactConfiguration": {
 "securityContactEmails": "drewwho@microsoft.com",
 "areNotificationsOn": "true"
 },
 "pricingConfiguration": {
 "selectedPricingTier":"standard"
 
 } 
 

CODE:

 $Tenant="YourAzureADTenantname.onmicrosoft.com"

Confirming Policy via get request, CODE (notice method is now 'get'  and json remove)

Output:  $request.properties

Nicely formatted output
