    Ensure that activity log alerts are used to detect "Delete Public IP Address" events within your Microsoft Azure cloud account. An activity log alert gets activated when a new activity log event that matches the condition specified in the alert occurs.
  impact: |
    Without proper alert rules configured for monitoring "Delete Public IP Address" events, unauthorized or unwanted changes might go unnoticed, leading to potential security risks.

    Ensure alert rules are properly configured to monitor and notify on "Delete Public IP Address" events by setting the alert condition to "Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/delete" and ensuring that an action group is attached to manage notifications.
