[New Rule] Azure Modify Trusted Domains

[bm11100]

Description

Hardening Strategies for Microsoft 365 to Defend Against UNC2452 - thanks to @dstepanic17 for sharing the whitepaper.

The Azure AD Audit log and Unified Audit log records when a domain is configured for federated authentication and the modification of federated realm objects. In most organizations, domain federation settings will be updated infrequently. Organizations should create rules to alert on the log events generated by these activities and audit them to ensure they are legitimate.
