Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source

The Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source collects Risk Detection and Risky User data from the Microsoft Graph Identity Protection API. It securely stores the required authentication, scheduling, and state tracking information.

If you want to explicitly allow the static IP addresses used for this Source on your firewall see our table of static IP addresses by deployment.

note

This source is available in all deployments, including the Fed deployment.

Setup

Vendor configuration

The Source requires the creation and registration of a service application within the Azure Active Directory portal.

The user creating the service application does not need to be an administrator. However, an administrator is needed to grant the application the appropriate permissions to the Identity and Access API.

Use the following steps to create a service application:

1. Log in to the Azure Active Directory Portal
2. Then select Azure Active Directory in the left menu.
3. Then select App Registrations.
   
4. Then select New Registration. Go through the registration process, providing a name for the application. Selecting Accounts in this organizational directory only is sufficient.
5. After the Application is registered (created), be sure to copy the Application (client) ID and the Directory (tenant) ID. These are used later as configuration parameters in Sumo Logic when creating the Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source.
6. Within the Application configuration page, select Certificates and Secrets to create an Application Client Secret Key.
7. Copy the Client Secret Value (pictured below). It's needed later in Sumo Logic when creating the Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source.
8. Request the appropriate permissions for the application. Click on API Permissions, then Add a permission and select Microsoft Graph. From there select (or search for) the following permissions. An Administrator must approve (grant) these permissions before the integration will function.

API	Account Type	Permissions
Risk Detection	Delegated (work or school account)	IdentityRiskEvent.Read.All
Risk Detection	Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Risk Detection	Application	IdentityRiskEvent.Read.All
Risky User	Delegated (work or school account)	IdentityRiskyUser.Read.All
Risky User	Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Risky User	Application	IdentityRiskyUser.Read.All

Source configuration

When you create a Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source, you add it to a Hosted Collector. Before creating the Source, identify the Hosted Collector you want to use or create a new Hosted Collector. For instructions, see Create a Hosted Collector.

To configure a Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source:

1. In Sumo Logic, select Manage Data > Collection > Collection. 
2. On the Collectors page, click Add Source next to a Hosted Collector.
3. Search for and select Microsoft Graph Identity Protection Source.
4. Enter a Name to display for the Source in the Sumo web application. The description is optional.
5. (Optional) For Source Category, enter any string to tag the output collected from the Source. Category metadata is stored in a searchable field called _sourceCategory.
6. Forward to SIEM. Check the checkbox to forward your data to Cloud SIEM.
7. (Optional) Fields. Click the +Add Field link to define the fields you want to associate, each field needs a name (key) and value.
   •  A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists in the Fields table schema.
   •  An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist in the Fields table schema. In this case, an option to automatically add the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema is provided. If a field is sent to Sumo that does not exist in the Fields schema it is ignored, known as dropped. 
8. Provide the Directory (tenant) ID and Application (client) ID you got after you registered (created) the Azure Application in step 5 of the setup section.
9. Application Client Secret Value. Provide the Application Client Secret Value you created in step 7 of the setup section.
10. Supported APIs to collect. Select one or more of the available APIs, riskDetections and riskyUsers.
11. When you are finished configuring the Source, click Submit.

Metadata fields

Field	Value	Description
_siemVendor	Microsoft	Set when Forward To SIEM is checked.
_siemProduct	Graph Identity Protection API	Set when Forward To SIEM is checked.
_siemFormat	JSON	Set when Forward To SIEM is checked.
_siemEventID	riskDetections or riskyUsers	The _siemEventId is set to the type of data ingested.

JSON schema

Sources can be configured using UTF-8 encoded JSON files with the Collector Management API. See how to use JSON to configure Sources for details. 

Parameter	Type	Value	Required	Description
schemaRef	JSON Object	{"type":"MS Graph Identity Protection"}	Yes	Define the specific schema type.
sourceType	String	"Universal"	Yes	Type of source.
config	JSON Object	Configuration object	Yes	Source type specific values.

Configuration Object

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description	Example
name	String	Yes	null	Type a desired name of the source. The name must be unique per Collector. This value is assigned to the metadata field _source.	"mySource"
