Microsoft Sentinel | Dropzone AI Documentation
Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel is an SIEM integration. SIEM integrations are used to perform analysis of any SIEM generated alerts, and/or to use generated data as part of investigation analysis.
Note that this is different from Microsoft 365/Microsoft Defender.
The Dropzone platform integrates with the Microsoft Sentinel security SIEM. Many customers ingest other alert sources into Microsoft Sentinel (e.g. IDPs) and integrate Dropzone into Microsoft Sentinel rather than the source systems.
Integration Overview
To enable these integrations you will perform the following actions:
- Register a new application in Microsoft Entra Admin
- Locate your Client ID, Tenant ID, and create a Client Secret
- Assign necessary API permissions to the application
- Assign roles to the application in Microsoft Sentinel
- Locate your Workspace Name and Workspace ID
See the Microsoft Integrations page for instructions on how to register a new application, locate your Client ID and Tenant ID, and to 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.
Enabling MS Sentinel will require the following APIs and permissions:
| API | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Log Analytics | Data.Read |
| Microsoft Graph | SecurityEvents.Read.All |
To add the Log Analytics API, do the following:
- In the API permissions page, click "Add a permission"
- Navigate to "APIs my organization uses"
- In the search bar, input "Log Analytics API," and select it
Select Log Analytics API
Click "Application permissions"
In the search bar, input "Data.Read" and select it. Click "Add permissions"
Once back in the Application API permissions page, click "Grant admin consent for [mycompany.net]"
If your integration requires access to security alerts via Microsoft Graph, do the following:
In the API permissions page, click "Add a permission"
Under the Microsoft API header, select "Microsoft Graph"
Click "Application permissions"
Check the permission "SecurityEvents.Read.All," then click "Add permissions"
Once back in the Application API permissions page, click "Grant admin consent for [mycompany.net]"
Assign Roles in Microsoft Sentinel
To allow the application to access Microsoft Sentinel data, you must assign the application roles based on your desired access level.
- Navigate to your Azure portal
- Under the "Azure Services" heading, navigate to Microsoft Sentinel
- Select the Log Analytics Workspace you wish to analyze
- Navigate to Configuration > Settings
- Click on "Workspace settings"
- Navigate to "Access control (IAM)"
- Select Add > Add role assignment
Select a role based on your desired access level:
- Read-only access: Log Analytics Reader or Microsoft Sentinel Reader
- Read and write access: Microsoft Sentinel Responder or Microsoft Sentinel Contributor
If you wish to enable Ticket Sync, you must assign the application a Read and write access role.
For the purpose of this documentation, the Log Analytics Reader role has been selected.
- Once you have selected your role, click "Members"
- Next to "Assign access to," select "User, group, or service principal"
- Click "Select members"
- Search for your application (such as Dropzone AI Sentinel Integration) and click "Select"
- In the bottom left hand corner, click "Review + assign" twice
Workspace IDs
To obtain your Workspace Name and Workspace ID, do the following:
- Navigate to your Azure portal
- Under the "Azure Services" heading, navigate to Microsoft Sentinel
- Select the Workspace you wish to analyze
- In the left sidebar, navigate to Configuration > Settings
- Click on "Workspace Settings"
- Copy the Workspace ID, Subscription ID, and Resource Group shown for use later in the Dropzone UI
