You are the database administrator for a healthcare company that uses Azure SQL Database to store patient records. The database is named PatientDB. The security team mandates that all database access must be audited, and any suspicious activity must be alerted in real-time. Additionally, compliance requires that all data at rest be encrypted using a customer-managed key stored in Azure Key Vault. You have configured the following: - TDE with customer-managed key in AKV (key vault name: KV-Health, key name: PatientKey) - Azure SQL Auditing enabled, writing logs to a storage account (StorageAcctLogs) - Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) enabled with alerts sent to the security team's email - Firewall rules allowing only the application server's public IP (203.0.113.50)

A week later, the security team reports that they received an ATP alert about a potential SQL injection attack from IP 198.51.100.25. However, when they check the audit logs, they find no entries from that IP. They also notice that the database remains accessible. The security team wants to know why the audit logs do not contain the suspicious IP even though ATP detected it. What is the most likely reason?

However, the application continues to connect successfully using the old credentials. You suspect the application might be caching the password. The security team wants to immediately revoke access for the compromised login and ensure that only a new login with a complex password is used. You also want to minimize downtime. What should you do first?
