Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Defender

The Dropzone AI platform integrates with Entra ID, Exchange Online, and Microsoft Defender via the Microsoft Graph API. This document describes how to set up API credentials and install them into the Dropzone platform.

Integration Overview

To enable these integrations you will perform the following actions:

• Register a new application in Microsoft Entra Admin Center
• Locate your Client ID, Tenant ID, and create a Client Secret
• Enable Dropzone Certificate Credentials
• Assign necessary API permissions to the application
• Install the credentials into your Dropzone tenant (Data Source and Alert Source)
• Select integration parameters, such as which alert types to sync

See the Microsoft Integrations page for instructions on how to register a new application, locate your Client ID and Tenant ID, and create a Client Secret.

Set Application Permissions

General instructions on how to assign API permissions to the application can be found in the Microsoft Integrations page.

MS 365/MS Defender can utilize the following APIs:

Microsoft Graph Permissions

• Under the Microsoft API header, select "Microsoft Graph"

Select Microsoft Graph

• Click "Application Permissions"

Add the following permissions:

Example - adding the "User.Read.All" permission

Some of these permissions are only necessary for the Data Source and Remediator integrations. If you don't intend to perform those integrations, you may ignore them.

Enabling Dropzone's Data Source Calendar Features is optional. Enabling Dropzone's Alert Source Microsoft Entra ID Protection feature is optional.

• Select whether you want to ingest alerts or incidents from Microsoft Defender

• Select which Microsoft Defender Detection Sources you wish to allow Dropzone to investigate alerts/incidents from

• In the "Enabled Alert Severity Levels" section, select the severity levels of alerts you want Dropzone to investigate

• In the "Enabled Status Filters" section, select the incident statuses you want Dropzone to investigate
