Enabling threat protection

It is important to protect our data from any anomalous activities that could be potentially harmful attempts to exploit our databases. Synapse provides you with two ways to protect your data against any threat. The first one is SQL auditing, which captures the activities related to all the changes to security, access to tables, and many more activities besides, to protect your data. The second is Azure Defender, which checks the vulnerability of your SQL pools and provides advanced data security for your data.

Let's learn a little more about Azure SQL auditing in the next subsection.

Azure SQL auditing

Azure SQL auditing captures all the events in a Synapse SQL pool and writes them to an audit log in your Azure Storage account. These audit logs can be used to analyze anomalous activities or unexpected behavior in the SQL pool.

This feature will be disabled by default, but you can enable it on the Azure SQL Auditing tab of your Azure Synapse...
