Microsoft Graph collector

Service description

Microsoft Graph provides many services such as Microsoft 365, Office 365, Outlook, and others. At this moment, the Microsoft Graph collector only deals with security alerts and scores retrieved from the Microsoft products. This empowers customers to streamline security operations and better defend against increasing cyber threats. The Microsoft Graph collector includes the two key entities described in the following sections:

  • Alerts
  • Secure Scores

Alerts

Alerts are potential security issues within a customer's tenant that Microsoft or partner security solutions have identified and flagged for action or notification. With the Microsoft Graph alerts entity, you can unify and streamline management of security issues across all integrated solutions.

Alerts Security Providers:

  • Azure Security Center

  • Azure Active Directory Identity Protection

  • Microsoft Cloud App Security

  • Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection

  • Azure Advanced Threat Protection

  • Cloud App Security (Update coming soon form MS Graph)

  • Azure Information Protection

  • Azure Sentinel

Secure Scores

Microsoft Secure Score is a security analytics solution that gives you visibility into your security portfolio and how to improve it. With a single score, you can better understand what you have done to reduce your risk in Microsoft solutions. You can also compare your score with other organizations and see how your score has been trending over time.

The Microsoft Graph secure score and secureScoreControlProfile entities help you balance your organization's security and productivity needs while enabling the appropriate mix of security features. You can also project what your score would be after you adopt security features.

Data source description

Currently, the Microsoft Graph collector generates security activities for these resources. The collector processes the Microsoft Graph responses and sends them to the Devo platform, which will categorize all the information received on tables along rows and columns on your Devo domain.

Microsoft Graph resources

Listed in the table below are the application names, details, and how the Devo platform treats the data and to which tables sends it:

Application nameDetailsDevo data tables

alerts

Represents potential security issues within a customer's tenant that Microsoft or partner security solutions have identified. Use alerts to unify and streamline security issue management across all integrated solutions.

cloud.msgraph.security.alerts

secureScore

Represents a tenant's secure score per day of scoring data, at the tenant and control level. By default, 90 days of data is held.

cloud.msgraph.security.scores

secureScoreControlProfile

Represents a tenant's secure score per control data. By default, it returns all controls for a tenant and can explicitly pull individual controls.

cloud.msgraph.security.scorecontrol

For more info about Microsoft Graph API, visit Microsoft Graph Reference.

Setup

The Microsoft Graph data collector works over the Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Azure Directory. To active the alerts and secure score resources from the Microsoft Graph API, a subscription on Microsoft Azure Directory followed by an app registration should be created, as well as configuring the resources with the right permissions for the best performance of the collector.

Setting up permissions on the subscription

  1. Go to the Azure portal and click Azure Activity Directory.
  2. Click App registrations → New registration to create a new app.

  3. On the Register an Application page, give your application a name.

    • On Supported Accounts Type, select the third option (Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox) )

    • On Redirect URI (optional), leave it blank (as default) and click Register.

  4. After registering the app, it will be displayed in a list on the App registration page. Click your app to give it permissions and configure it. You’ll see the app on the dashboard with some important information, docs, and endpoints.

  5. On the left menu, click Authentication → Add a platform → Mobile and desktop applications.

  6. Mark the 3 redirect URIs and click configure.

  7. On the left menu, click API permissions and check if you already have Microsoft Graph on the API/ Permission list. If not, click Add permission and add Microsoft Graph.

  8. Now select Application permissions and search for Security. Check all the boxes available for the service. Then, repeat the same process with Audit and User. If you have done everything correctly, your permissions will display as shown on the green box line. Then Grant admin consent for the applications.

Troubleshooting

If you get this error “Unable to save changes. One or more of the following permission(s) are currently not supported: SecurityEvents.ReadWrite.All, SecurityEvents.Read.All, SecurityActions.Read.All, SecurityActions.ReadWrite.All. Please remove these permission(s) and retry your request. [O6b9]” you might not have set up the permission correctly. Make sure that your configuration is exactly the same as in the green box in the capture above.

Authentication

After applying the permissions, select Certificates & secrets →  New client secret, enter the desired name, and copy the token.

The token will display just once. You might have to create another in case you don’t copy it.

Getting the credentials

After creating the token, go to Overview to get your Tenant ID and Client ID. This information will be used on the collector server to run the application.

Run the collector

This data collector can be run in any machine that has the Docker service available because it should be executed as a docker container. The following sections explain how to prepare all the required setup for having the data collector running.

Structure

The following directory structure should be created for being used when running the Microsoft Graph collector:

<any_directory>
└── devo-collectors/
    └── msgraph/
        ├── certs/
        │   ├── chain.crt
        │   ├── <your_domain>.key
        │   └── <your_domain>.crt
        └── config/ 
            └── config-msgraph.yaml

Devo credentials

In Devo, go to Administration → Credentials → X.509 Certificates, download the Certificate, Private key and Chain CA and save them in <any directory>/devo-collectors/msgraph/certs. Learn more about security credentials in Devo here.

Editing the config-msgraph.yaml file

In the config-msgraph.yaml file, replace the <short_unique_identifier>, <tenant_id_value>, <client_id_value>, and <client_secret_value> values and enter the ones that you got in the previous steps. See inline comments to better understand the file.

      secure_scores:
        request_period_in_seconds: 86400                       # 86400 seconds => 1day in seconds, this is the recommended value, but it can be changed

If you need to use a custom tag for generated messages, it can be done using the property tag inside any of the available services: alerts, secure_scores, and/or secure_score_control_profile. For example: tag: my.app.msgraph_security.{service_name}

The start_time fields are optional. Follow these formats if you need to use them:

Alerts “start_time” format: 0000-00-00T00:00:000Z

Secure Scores “start_time” format: 0000-00-00T00:00:00Z

Download the Docker image

The collector should be deployed as a Docker container. Click here to download the Docker image of the collector as a .tgz file.

Use the following command to add the Docker image to the system:

gunzip -c collector-msgraph-docker-image-<version>.tgz | docker load

Once the Docker image is imported, it will show the real name of the Docker image (including version info). Replace "<version>" with a proper value.

The Docker image can be deployed on the following services:

  • Docker

  • Docker Compose

Docker

Execute the following command on the root directory <any_directory>/devo-collectors/msgraph/

docker run \
--name collector-msgraph \
--volume $PWD/certs:/devo-collector/certs \
--volume $PWD/config:/devo-collector/config \
--volume $PWD/state:/devo-collector/state \
--env CONFIG_FILE=config-msgraph.yaml \
--rm -it docker.devo.internal/collector/msgraph:<version>

Replace <version> with a proper value.

Docker Compose

The following Docker Compose file can be used to execute the Docker container. It must be created in the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/msgraph/ directory.

docker-compose.yaml

version: '3'
services:
  collector-msgraph:
