Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the “Monitor SQL Encryption setting is not enabled” misconfiguration in Azure using Azure CLI, follow the below steps:Step 1: Open Azure CLI and login to your Azure account using the command:

az login

Step 2: Once you are logged in, set the Azure subscription where your SQL Server is located using the command:

az account set --subscription <subscription_id>

Step 3: Check if the SQL Encryption setting is enabled or not using the command:

az sql server tde show --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server <sql_server_name> --database <database_name>

Step 4: If the SQL Encryption setting is not enabled, enable it using the command:

az sql server tde set --status Enabled --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server <sql_server_name> --database <database_name>

Step 5: Verify that the SQL Encryption setting is enabled by running the command in Step 3 again.By following these steps, you can remediate the “Monitor SQL Encryption setting is not enabled” misconfiguration in Azure using Azure CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the “Monitor SQL Encryption setting is not enabled” misconfiguration in Azure using Python, you can follow the below steps:

Import the necessary libraries:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.security import SecurityCenter

Authenticate to Azure using the DefaultAzureCredential class:

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

Instantiate the SecurityCenter client using the credential:

security_center_client = SecurityCenter(
    credential=credential,
    subscription_id="<subscription_id>"
)

Get the security policy for SQL encryption:

policy = security_center_client.security_policies.get(
    resource_group_name="<resource_group_name>",
    security_policy_name="<security_policy_name>"
)

sql_encryption_setting = next(
    (setting for setting in policy.settings if setting.name == "sqlEncryption"),
    None
)

If the sqlEncryption setting is not enabled, enable it and update the security policy:

if sql_encryption_setting and not sql_encryption_setting.value:
    sql_encryption_setting.value = True
    policy = security_center_client.security_policies.create_or_update(
        resource_group_name="<resource_group_name>",
        security_policy_name="<security_policy_name>",
        security_policy=policy
    )

The above steps will remediate the “Monitor SQL Encryption setting is not enabled” misconfiguration in Azure using Python.
