Explanation

Azure Defender (now part of Microsoft Defender for Cloud) includes a plan specifically called 'Azure Defender for SQL', which provides advanced threat protection for Azure SQL Managed Instance. It detects anomalous activities indicating unusual and potentially harmful attempts to access or exploit databases, such as SQL injection, brute force, and suspicious access patterns. Microsoft Secure Score (A) measures security posture but does not detect threats. Application security groups (B) are a network micro-segmentation tool. Azure Bastion (D) provides secure RDP/SSH access to VMs and has nothing to do with SQL threat detection.
