Control: 5.1.3 Ensure the storage container storing the activity logs is not publicly accessible

Description

The storage account container containing the activity log export should not be publicly accessible.

Allowing public access to activity log content may aid an adversary in identifying weaknesses in the affected account's use or configuration.

Remediation

From Azure Portal

  1. From Azure Home select the Portal Menu
  2. Search for Storage Accounts to access Storage account blade
  3. Click on the storage account name
  4. In Section Blob Service click Containers. It will list all the containers in next blade
  5. Look for a record with container named as insight-operational-logs. Click ... from right most column to open Context menu
  6. Click Access Policy from Context Menu and set Public Access Level to Private (no anonymous access)

From Azure CLI

az storage container set-permission --name insights-operational-logs --account-name <Storage Account Name> --public-access off

Default Value

By default, public access is set to null (allowing only private access) for a container with activity log export.
