Microsoft Sentinel

Receive Microsoft Sentinel security alerts as classified security incidents — severity and MITRE ATT&CK tactics both drive the classification — and keep incident status in sync with the linked Sentinel incident.

What it does

  • security.alert.high/medium/low → incident, with Sentinel's severity mapped to platform severity and a tenant-configurable inbound floor (default: High only opens a ticket)
  • MITRE ATT&CK tactics escalate the classification: credential access, lateral movement, and command-and-control push toward confirmed_threat; exfiltration or impact escalate straight to breach
  • security.incident lifecycle sync is bidirectional: our status pushes to Sentinel, and a Sentinel close classification (true/benign/false positive) refines our security classification
  • Signed inbound webhook (HMAC-SHA256) is the primary path; Graph Security API polling is the fallback
  • Authenticates via an Entra ID app registration (client-credentials grant), not interactive OAuth

Data residency

Conservative default; the tenant declares where their Log Analytics workspace actually lives, and a non-EU declaration is gated by the residency acknowledgement.

Event mappings

External eventMaps toWhat happens
security.alert.highincidentHigh-severity Sentinel alert → security incident (confirmed_threat or higher)
security.alert.mediumincidentMedium-severity Sentinel alert → security incident (suspicious)
security.alert.lowincidentLow-severity Sentinel alert → security incident (low_risk)
security.incidentincidentSentinel incident lifecycle → linked incident state (bidirectional)

What you configure

  • Entra tenant ID + app registration client ID
  • Azure subscription ID + resource group + Log Analytics workspace name/ID
  • Azure cloud instance (public / usgov / china)
  • Workspace data residency (eu/us/hybrid, tenant-declared)
  • Minimum inbound severity to open an incident (default High)

OAuth scopes requested

  • https://graph.microsoft.com/.default

Setup overview

Register an Entra ID app with Graph Security permissions, and declare your workspace's residency. The signed webhook is the primary inbound path; polling is a fallback for tenants who don't wire it.
