DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
Azure is a popular option for data storage. After an initial network compromise, an attacker can move data to an Azure account name that they have created. Attackers frequently seek valuable data to steal, and data can be easily transferred without advanced tools or techniques. The business impact of this type of exfiltration is high because the attacker can steal sensitive data, which can lead to further attacks on your network.

Data can be exfiltrated by employees who have access to critical assets, or by attackers who gain unauthorized access to critical assets through malware or an exploit. Attackers can then hide large data uploads by sending the data to a web service, such as Azure, which is frequently accessed by internal devices and approved by firewall policies.
