Quarantine Unsanctioned Tenants

Updated

You are an IT Admin for the company "Contoso" with the primary tenant of "Contoso.com." To secure data in the central Contoso tenant, you need to ensure users and applications with privileged access to your tenant are in tenants that properly secure these resources. Likewise, you want to ensure that external tenants in which your tenant has permissions into are known and following secure practices. To secure Contoso, you want to find all tenants that have inbound or outbound relationships with your primary tenant.

Track and investigate identity activities with linkable identifiers in Microsoft Entra (preview)

Updated

Microsoft embeds specific identifiers in all access tokens that enable the correlation of activities back to a single root authentication event. These linkable identifiers are surfaced in customer-facing logs to support threat hunters and security analysts in investigating and mitigating identity-based attacks. By leveraging these identifiers, security professionals can more effectively trace, analyze, and respond to malicious activity across sessions and tokens, enhancing both the transparency and security of the environment.

Copilot Security Entra Investigate Risky Apps

Updated

Jason would also like to look into the risk factor of external apps or multitenant apps with a presence in his tenant that are registered in another organization’s tenant. Since the security posture of these apps is impacted by the posture of the owning tenant, it’s especially important to review these to identify risks and opportunities for surface area reduction. Copilot can return a list of service principals within the current tenant with a multitenant app registration outside of the user’s tenant or details on if a particular service principal is registered outside the tenant.
