Summary
The `Azure Storage File Share Created or Modified` rule detects the creation and modification of Azure Storage file shares through Azure Monitor Activity. This rule is significant because file shares can serve as critical points for data transfer within cloud environments, allowing users to mount shares using SMB or NFS protocols. Adversaries might exploit this functionality for data exfiltration or staging by creating or modifying file shares to facilitate unauthorized access to sensitive data. The rule assists in establishing a baseline of normal activities around file shares and identifying anomalies or unusual patterns indicative of potential security incidents. It also references specific techniques under the MITRE ATT&CK framework to contextualize its relevance in threat detection scenarios.
