Are critical asset management rules incompatible with Entra ID?
I am trying to create some custom asset management rules based on filters like logged on username, user criticality, and user groups. No matter what I try no assets show up. Even if I use the format azuread\<username>, no assets are returned by the filter. Are these filters incompatible with Entra ID? Do they only work with on-premise AD?Weird updates "Security Threat Intelligence" on desktop
Hi guys, my name is Mo and I am new to the XRD community 🥰 I m observing anomalous device behavior. Upon login or wake-up, multiple virtual machines are active, some exhibiting headless screen reader functionality. This issue emerged following the installation of Microsoft security threat intelligence updates. Considering Windows Defender's machine learning and predictive maintenance capabilities, I question the deployment of these updates to my system. Is this update a standard Windows component? The associated URL is currently inaccessible. I acknowledge the potential of XR, CDN, and Hologres technologies (and other Azure/cloud-enabled features) to alter user experience. Could someone provide clarification regarding these iterative security updates? My usage is limited to cloud platforms and reputable open-source software; I do not utilize malicious websites. Thank you. #misclassification?
Whitelisting Pentesting tools
Hello everyone. I'm coming to you with a question that I think is pertinent. We use a pentesting tool in our environment. It generates a lot of incidents and alerts in Microsoft Defender. We have on-prem accounts (one user, one admin) so that the tool can perform this pentesting. Do you have any ideas on how to whitelist incidents linked to this user, these actions or the node machine he uses to initiate connections? So that it no longer generates or the incidents linked to these activities are automatically resolved. Thank you for your help. HKNPending actions notification via KQL / Graph API
Hello, I'm looking for a way to get notifications when an investigation is in Pending Approval state. I have tried searching the logs in Defender and Sentinel and have tried finding a graph request that could get this information, but no luck. Is this something that exists? Thank you for any help regarding this topic. KristofAutomating detection engineering for MS 365 Defender
I'm working at a MSSP managing multiple customers. We build a lot of custom detections rules in the MS 365 Defender portal of the customers. We have a library of standard custom detections we use for all our customer. However it is very labor intensive to manage all those detections. I'm thinking of automating it so it is all manageable from one platform. But the MS documentation doesn't speak about API features to create edit and remove custom detections in MS 365. Is there anyway to automate this process?Incidents from Custom Detection Rules never have Emails for Evidence
let ignoreAddresses = datatable(address:string) [@'email address removed for privacy reasons',@'email address removed for privacy reasons']; let ignoreSpamSubjects = datatable(address:string) [@'ignored subject 1',@'ignored subject 2']; // Time range needs to be set in the UI dropdown in order for LatestDeliveryLocation filter to work (i.e., live table vs streaming API). EmailEvents | where SenderFromDomain in~ (_getEXOAcceptedDomains) | where DetectionMethods has_any('URL detonation reputation', 'URL malicious reputation') and not(RecipientEmailAddress in~ (ignoreAddresses) or SenderFromAddress in~ (ignoreAddresses)) | where not (Subject has_any (ignoreSpamSubjects)) | where (parse_json( AuthenticationDetails).DMARC =~ 'Pass' and EmailDirection =~ 'Inbound') or (EmailDirection =~ 'Intra-org') | where (LatestDeliveryLocation in~ ('Quarantine', 'Junk folder') and not (LatestDeliveryAction =~ 'Quarantine release')) and parse_json(ConfidenceLevel).Phish in~ ('Normal','High') | join kind=inner ( EmailUrlInfo | summarize Urls = make_list(Url) by NetworkMessageId ) on NetworkMessageId I've got the above query saved as a detection rule, which works fine except for one thing - the emails are never present in the Evidence tab of the generated incidents. Meanwhile the Recipients show up in the Mailbox and User assets as I'm using Entity mapping to mapping the RecipientEmailAddress / RecipientObjectId to those 2 entity types. The only thing I can find about Emails is that for Actions to be possible on the Emails in the query results - "The columns NetworkMessageId and RecipientEmailAddress must be present in the output results of the query to apply actions to email messages." (ref) - which is being satisfied. The Evidence available is the IP of the sender, and an empty email cluster, like this: In the incident above there are 2 emails, and the 4 assets are the user and mailbox for each of the 2 emails' Recipient. I can successfully just use the query manually to find and manage those emails, but a big part of the goal with these detection rules, at least in my opinion, is to be able to easily manage the evidence. In this exact case, I'm looking for inbound emails coming from our own Accepted Domains in the SenderFromAddress, which pass DMARC, but are in Quarantine, detected as Phish. The idea is to watch out for false positives due to URL detonation reputation since most of the messages fitting this criteria are coming in from various emailing services (e.g., Constant Contact, MailChimp, SendGrid, etc.) and these services tend to end up on the reputation lists a few times per month. Just wondering if there are any tricks anyone knows about to help me populate the emails into my resulting incidents.
Defender Confirm User Compromised
Triggering the "Confirm User Compromised" selection on Defender XDR after an Alert and Investigation has limited guidance. Can someone help point me at the documentation of what is triggered, how can I change what is triggered, what automations can I link with that, and is that even possible? I would like to see an alert, review, and once the action is taken the user is notified, and the user's listed next in higher direct report, with the incident information and the ability to add important information. Reset password, force 2FA, Log off of all open sessions, and any other remediations that could be added.
