Automating Defender Alerts with CISA KEV and n8n – Has anyone tried similar workflows?
Hi everyone, I’ve been experimenting with n8n automation to improve vulnerability management. I created a workflow that cross-references Microsoft Defender for Endpoint vulnerabilities with the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, and then automatically creates Jira tickets for remediation. The flow takes about 16 seconds to run and prioritizes only the CVEs that are both present in the environment and listed in KEV. Has anyone here built similar automation (maybe with Logic Apps, Power Automate, or Sentinel playbooks)? Would love to hear how others handle vulnerability prioritization or ticket creation!
EDR logs explanation
Hello, would it be possible for an expert from this forum to analyze the EDR logs? Could you also explain to me in detail what happened? Furthermore, can you tell me if it is clearly established that the deleted files were deleted by someone physically present on the machine, or if there are other possible explanations? Thanks in advance.
My laptop has been blocked by BitLocker.
However, there is no BitLocker recovery keys on my Microsoft account. I have tried to call Microsoft support, but I only get bot messages that take me to sites that asks me to go and check my Microsoft account. Is there any way I can chat with a human that can actually help me how to get around this BitLocker? thanks
Executive reporting for Attack Simulation Training
Good day, My organization has decided to use Microsoft Attack Simulation Training to train our userbase to resist phishing and social engineering attacks. I am experiencing a few challenges: 1. Reporting is not very friendly. Short of using spreadsheets to track and manage user compliance, what are the best native methods for tracking? 2. An analyst prior to me had run a few haphazard simulations. Is there a way to exclude those tests from my reporting? Is it possible to delete old simulations? 3. to be considered a failure, the user must go all the way supplying credentials. I believe that if the user does anything beyond reading and/or reporting the message, they should be considered failing the test. Is there a way to adjust the failure point in Attack Simulation? 4. For repeat offenders, is there a way to split the simulations to see what simulations were failed? I have used other vendors phishing simulators. The reporting and campaign design is much better in the other solutions. Hopefully Microsoft can make vast improvements to their solution. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris O.
Security Experts... Please advise the necessary people
I'm exploring this forum as a last resort, having exhausted all other options. My story involves a serious flaw in Microsoft's security framework, which has devastatingly impacted my once-thriving business. As a small yet vital enterprise of 15 employees, functioning as an MSP and Microsoft Silver Partner, I faced an unforeseen betrayal. During my absence for spinal surgery, a rogue Microsoft CSP Direct Partner, who was only supposed to manage my business temporarily, exploited their Microsoft affiliation. Utilizing social engineering and their insider status, they illegitimately transferred my company's goodwill and assets to themselves. This included the theft of two decades' worth of private data. The gravity of their deception extends beyond my business; they now control my client base, mainly consisting of solicitors and accountants. Despite clear evidence of their phishing and scamming activities, Microsoft has remained passive, allowing the situation to deteriorate. The suppliers, duped by fraudulent documents, are now realizing their mistake but continue to deny my rights to my own business. This inaction, shared by both Microsoft and the suppliers, leaves me entangled in debt and potential litigation. Interestingly, I am still aware of the physical whereabouts of these scammers. Moreover, I possess pages and pages of IOCs that further substantiate their illicit activities. If Microsoft genuinely engaged with this issue and worked collaboratively towards a resolution, perhaps we could transform this into a tale of rectification and justice. But, having pursued every possible channel without success, I am compelled to raise awareness on public forums. With nothing left to lose, I am calling for attention to this matter. Should you be able to assist, or know someone who can, please reach out. My contact details are linked to my forum ID, and Microsoft can easily access my tenant and phone information.
