STEP 7: Configure OS baseline and Vulnerability Assessment Solution

This step is optional.

Enabling Auto Provisioning of Azure Security Center monitoring agent and connect VMs to OMS workspace allows Cloudneeti application to collect data of OS baselines security policies as available in CIS listed here.

Vulnerability Assessment Integrations: Enabling deployment of a 3rd party partner vulnerability assessment solution using Azure Security Center allows Cloudneeti to collect all the VA findings reported by partner solutions and associate them to each of the cloud assets.

Steps Prerequisite for VM Baseline Policies Prerequisite for vulnerability assessment
7.1 Connect VMs to OMS workspace Yes Yes
7.2 Install vulnerability solution on VMs NA Yes
7.3 Verify instance status NA Yes
7.4 Verify data on Cloudneeti Yes Yes

7.1 Connect VMs to Azure Log Analytics workspace

Installing the Log Analytics VM extension for Windows and Linux allows Azure Monitor to collect data from your Azure VMs.

  1. Navigate to Log Analytics Workspaces

  2. Create or use existing log analytics workspace

    Azure vulnerability

  3. Select Windows VMs for connecting the Log Analytics workspace

    Azure vulnerability

  4. Click Connect to add log analytics workspace

7.2 Install vulnerability solution on VMs

Vulnerability assessment solutions that are integrated with Azure Security center are supported, with the initial Cloudneeti integrations for Qualys and Rapid7. Other VA integrations will be rolled out in future releases

Deploy a partner Vulnerability Assessment Solution solution on VMs

  1. Navigate to Compute & apps in Security Center

  2. Choose recommendation

    Azure vulnerability

  3. Install solution on selected VMs

    Azure vulnerability

  4. Add details for installing agent

    • Qualys

    Azure vulnerability

    • Rapid7

    Azure vulnerability

  5. Verify the extension status Qualys or Rapid7 agent should be Provisioning succeeded

    Azure vulnerability

7.3 Verify instance status is healthy

  1. Navigate to Compute & apps(2) in Security Center(1)

  2. Select VMs and Servers (3)

  3. Select VM to be verified (4)

    Azure vulnerability

  4. Select recommendation Vulnerability assessment solution should be installed on your virtual machines

    Azure vulnerability

7.4 Verify data on Cloudneeti (to be done post Cloud Account Onboarding)

After successful scan, Azure Windows VM vulnerability assessment will appear on Vulnerability tab on Asset Security dashboard
