T1555 Credentials from Password Stores Mappings

Adversaries may search for common password storage locations to obtain user credentials. Passwords are stored in several places on a system, depending on the operating system or application holding the credentials. There are also specific applications that store passwords to make it easier for users manage and maintain. Once credentials are obtained, they can be used to perform lateral movement and access restricted information.

azure_defender_for_resource_manager Azure Defender for Resource Manager technique_scores T1555 Credentials from Password Stores
Comments
This control may alert on credential dumping from Azure Key Vaults, App Services Configurations, and Automation accounts by specific exploitation toolkits. Consequently, its Coverage score is Minimal resulting in an overall Minimal score. The following alerts may be generated: "MicroBurst exploitation toolkit used to extract secrets from your Azure key vaults", "MicroBurst exploitation toolkit used to extract keys to your storage accounts".

azure_defender_for_key_vault Azure Defender for Key Vault technique_scores T1555 Credentials from Password Stores
Comments
This control may detect suspicious secret access from Azure key vaults. This does not apply to any sub-techniques under T1555 - Credentials from Password Stores but Azure Key Vault can be treated as a store for passwords, keys, and certificates. The coverage of this control could be deemed high for cloud credential and secret storage within Key Vault but is not applicable to traditional password stores, such as password managers, keychain, or web browsers.
