Azure role_based_access_control Mappings

Access management for cloud resources is a critical function for any organization that is using the cloud. Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) helps you manage who has access to Azure resources, what they can do with those resources, and what areas they have access to.

role_based_access_control Role Based Access Control protect minimal T1087 Account Discovery
Comments
This control only provides protection for one of this technique's sub-techniques while not providing any protection for its procedure examples nor its remaining sub-technqiues and therefore its coverage score factor is Minimal, resulting in a Minimal score.
References
role_based_access_control Role Based Access Control protect partial T1087.004 Cloud Account
Comments
This control can be used to implement the least-privilege principle for account management and thereby limit the accounts that can be used for account discovery.

    role_based_access_control Role Based Access Control protect minimal T1078 Valid Accounts
    Comments
    This control only provides protection for one of this technique's sub-techniques while not providing any protection for its procedure examples (due to being specific to Azure AD) nor its remaining sub-technqiues. Consequently its coverage score factor is Minimal, resulting in a Minimal score.

    Comments
    This control can be used to implement the least-privilege principle for account management and thereby limit what an adversary can do with a valid account.

                    Comments
                    This control can be used to limit the number of users that have access to storage solutions except for the applications, users, and services that require access, thereby reducing the attack surface.

                    Comments
                    This control can be used to limit the number of users that are authorized to grant consent to applications for accessing organizational data. This can reduce the likelihood that a user is fooled into granting consent to a malicious application that then utilizes the user's OAuth access token to access organizational data.
