Extending Sentinel Data Integration: Azure Blob Storage Support for CCF Connectors
As organizations scale their security operations, the ability to ingest, process, and analyze high volumes of data reliably becomes increasingly critical. Microsoft Sentinel continues to expand its ecosystem through the Codeless Connector Framework (CCF), enabling ISVs to build and deliver integrations with Sentinel faster while simplifying deployment for customers. Today, CCF extends even further with support for Azure Blob Storage, introducing a new pattern for how data can be delivered into Sentinel. Expanding Connector Patterns with Azure Blob Storage CCF has traditionally enabled connectors that integrate directly with partner APIs and data sources. With this latest enhancement, ISVs can now build connectors that read data from Azure Blob Storage—unlocking new flexibility in how security data is collected and delivered. In this model, an ISV writes data to an Azure Blob Storage account. The Sentinel connector then reads from that storage layer, using Azure-native components such as Event Grid and storage queues to process events and forward them through data collection rules (DCR) into Log Analytics workspace. This approach introduces a durable data layer between the data source and Sentinel, enabling more resilient and scalable ingestion scenarios. Why a durable data layer matters By leveraging Azure Blob Storage as part of the ingestion pipeline, CCF connectors gain important operational advantages. This architecture allows data to be buffered and processed asynchronously, helping manage fluctuations in data volume and ensuring consistent delivery. Key benefits include: Resilience: Buffers spikes and handles backpressure to maintain steady ingestion Improved Compatibility: Supports widely adopted Azure Blob-based log streaming, enabling seamless integration with partners that already use Azure for audit data delivery Data protection: Reduces risk of data loss during outages or throttling Scalability: Supports high-volume ingestion scenarios across tenants Flexibility: Enables architectures that can support multiple SIEMs or data consumers Together, these capabilities make CCF Azure Blob Storage based connectors a strong fit for partners managing large, variable, or distributed data pipelines. Partner adoption Early partners are already taking advantage of this capability to modernize their integrations and support evolving customer needs. Cloudflare Cloudflare integrates with Microsoft Sentinel using the Codeless Connector Framework (CCF) to bring Cloudflare log data into centralized security operations workflows. The connector ingests Cloudflare logs—delivered via Logpush to Azure Blob Storage—into Sentinel for analysis, enabling security teams to correlate web, network, and application activity with other security signals. By combining Cloudflare’s global threat visibility with Sentinel analytics and automation, this integration supports more effective threat detection, investigation, and incident response across Cloudflare‑protected environments. Netskope Web Transaction Events Netskope integrates with Microsoft Sentinel to provide detailed visibility into web and cloud activity across users, applications, and SaaS services.

As a Senior Product Manager | Developer Architect on the App Assure team working to bring Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot solutions to market, I interact with many ISVs building agents on Microsoft Sentinel data lake for the first time. I’ve written this article to walk you through one possible approach for agent development – the process I use when building sample agents internally at Microsoft. If you have questions about this, or other methods for building your agent, App Assure offers guidance through our Sentinel Advisory Service. Throughout this post, I include screenshots and examples from Gigamon’s Security Posture Insight Agent. This article assumes you have: An existing SaaS or security product with accessible telemetry. A small ISV team (2–3 engineers + 1 PM). Focus on a single high value scenario for the first agent. The Composite Application Model (What You Are Building) When I begin designing an agent, I think end-to-end, from data ingestion requirements through agentic logic, following the Composite application model. The Composite Application Model consists of five layers: Data Sources – Your product’s raw security, audit, or operational data. Ingestion – Getting that data into Microsoft Sentinel. Sentinel data lake & Microsoft Graph – Normalization, storage, and correlation. Agent – Reasoning logic that queries data and produces outcomes. End User – Security Copilot or SaaS experiences that invoke the agent. This separation allows for evolving data ingestion and agent logic simultaneously. It also helps avoid downstream surprises that require going back and rearchitecting the entire solution. Optional Prerequisite You are enrolled in the ISV Success Program, so you can earn Azure Credits to provision Security Compute Units (SCUs) for Security Copilot Agents. Phase 1: Data Ingestion Design & Implementation Choose Your Ingestion Strategy The first choice I face when designing an agent is how the data is going to flow into my Sentinel workspace. Below I document two primary methods for ingestion. Option A: Codeless Connector Framework (CCF) This is the best option for ISVs with REST APIs. To build a CCF solution, reference our documentation for getting started. Option B: CCF Push (Public Preview) In this instance, an ISV pushes events directly to Sentinel via a CCF Push connector. Our MS Learn documentation is a great place to get started using this method. Additional Note: In the event you find that CCF does not support your needs, reach out to App Assure so we can capture your requirements for future consideration. Azure Functions remains an option if you’ve documented your CCF feature needs. Phase 2: Onboard to Microsoft Sentinel data lake Once my data is flowing into Sentinel, I onboard a single Sentinel workspace to data lake. This is a one-time action and cannot be repeated for additional workspaces. Onboarding Steps Go to the Defender portal. Follow the Sentinel Data lake onboarding instructions. Validate that tables are visible in the lake. See Running KQL Queries in data lake for additional information. Phase 3: Build and Test the Agent in Microsoft Foundry Once my data is successfully ingested into data lake, I begin the agent development process. There are multiple ways to build agents depending on your needs and tooling preferences. For this example, I chose Microsoft Foundry because it fit my needs for real-time logging, cost efficiency, and greater control. 1. Create a Microsoft Foundry Instance Foundry is used as a tool for your development environment. Reference our QuickStart guide for setting up your Foundry instance. Required Permissions: Security Reader (Entra or Subscription) Azure AI Developer at the resource group After setup, click Create Agent. 2. Design the Agent A strong first agent: Solves one narrow security problem. Has deterministic outputs. Uses explicit instructions, not vague prompts. Example agent responsibilities: To query Sentinel data lake (Sentinel data exploration tool). To summarize recent incidents. To correlate ISVs specific signals with Sentinel alerts and other ISV tables (Sentinel data exploration tool). 3. Implement Agent Instructions Well-designed agent instructions should include: Role definition ("You are a security investigation agent…"). Data sources it can access. Step by step reasoning rules. Output format expectations. Sample Instructions can be found here: Agent Instructions 4. Configure the Microsoft Model Context Protocol (MCP) tooling for your agent For your agent to query, summarize and correlate all the data your connector has sent to data lake, take the following steps: Select Tools, and under Catalog, type Sentinel, and then select Microsoft Sentinel Data Exploration. For more information about the data exploration tool collection in MCP server, see our documentation. I always test repeatedly with real data until outputs are consistent. For more information on testing and validating the agent, please reference our documentation. Phase 4: Migrate the Agent to Security Copilot Once the agent works in Foundry, I migrate it to Security Copilot. To do this: Copy the full instruction set from Foundry Provision a SCU for your Security Copilot workspace. For instructions, please reference this documentation. Make note of this process as you will be charged per hour per SCU Once you are done testing you will need to deprovision the capacity to prevent additional charges Open Security Copilot and use Create From Scratch Agent Builder as outlined here. Add Sentinel data exploration MCP tools (these are the same instructions from the Foundry agent in the previous step). For more information on linking the Sentinel MCP tools, please refer to this article. Paste and adapt instructions. At this stage, I always validate the following: Agent Permissions – I have confirmed the agent has the necessary permissions to interact with the MCP tool and read data from your data lake instance. Agent Performance – I have confirmed a successful interaction with measured latency and benchmark results. This step intentionally avoids reimplementation. I am reusing proven logic. Phase 5: Execute, Validate, and Publish After setting up my agent, I navigate to the Agents tab to manually trigger the agent. For more information on testing an agent you can refer to this article. Now that the agent has been executed successfully, I download the agent Manifest file from the environment so that it can be packaged. Click View code on the Agent under the Build tab as outlined in this documentation. Publishing to the Microsoft Security Store If I were publishing my agent to the Microsoft Security Store, these are the steps I would follow: Finalize ingestion reliability. Document required permissions. Define supported scenarios clearly. Package agent instructions and guidance (by following these instructions). Summary Based on my experience developing Security Copilot agents on Microsoft Sentinel data lake, this playbook provides a practical, repeatable framework for ISVs to accelerate their agent development and delivery while maintaining high standards of quality. This foundation enables rapid iteration—future agents can often be built in days, not weeks, by reusing the same ingestion and data lake setup. When starting on your own agent development journey, keep the following in mind: To limit initial scope. To reuse Microsoft managed infrastructure. To separate ingestion from intelligence. What Success Looks Like At the end of this development process, you will have the following: A Microsoft Sentinel data connector live in Content Hub (or in process) that provides a data ingestion path. Data visible in data lake. A tested agent running in Security Copilot. Clear documentation for customers. A key success factor I look for is clarity over completeness. A focused agent is far more likely to be adopted. Need help?

Interested in building an agent with Sentinel platform solutions but not sure where to start? This blog will help you understand some common use cases for agent development that we’ve seen across our partner ecosystem. SOC teams don’t need more alerts - they need fast, repeatable investigation and response workflows. Security Copilot agents can help orchestrate the steps analysts perform by correlating across the Sentinel data lake, executing targeted KQL queries, fetching related entities, enriching with context, and producing an evidence-backed decision without forcing analysts to switch tools. Microsoft Sentinel platform is a strong foundation for agentic experiences because it exposes a normalized security data layer, an investigation surface based on incidents and entities, and extensive automation capabilities. An agent can use these primitives to correlate identity, endpoint, cloud, and network telemetry; traverse entity relationships; and recommend remediation actions. In this blog, I will break down common agentic use cases that developers can implement on Sentinel platform, framed in buildable and repeatable patterns: Identify the investigation scenario Understand the required Sentinel data connectors and KQL queries Build enrichment and correlation logic Summarize findings with supporting evidence and recommended remediation steps Use Case 1: Identity & Access Intelligence Investigation Scenario: Is this risky sign-in part of an attack path? Signals Correlated: Identity access telemetry: Source user, IPs, target resources, MFA logs Authentication outcomes and diversity: Success vs. failure, Geographic spread Identity risk posture: User risk level/state Post-auth endpoint execution: Suspicious LOLBins Correlation Logic: An analyst receives a risky sign-in signal for a user and needs to determine whether the activity reflects expected behavior - such as travel, remote access, or MFA friction - or if it signals the early stage of an identity compromise that could escalate into privileged access and downstream workload impact. Practical Example: Silverfort Identity Threat Triage Agent, which is built on a similar framework, takes the user’s UPN as input and builds a bounded, last-24-hour investigation across authentication activity, MFA logs, user risk posture, and post-authentication endpoint behavior. Outcome: By correlating identity risk signals, MFA logs, sign-in success and failure patterns, and suspicious execution activity following authentication, the agent connects the initial risky sign-in to endpoint behavior, enabling the analyst to quickly assess compromise likelihood, identify escalation indicators, and determine appropriate remediation actions. “Our collaboration with Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot underscores the central role identity plays across every stage of attack path triage. By integrating Silverfort’s identity risk signals with Microsoft Entra ID and Defender for Endpoint, and sharing rich telemetry across platforms, we enable Security Copilot Agent to distinguish isolated anomalies from true identity-driven intrusions - while dramatically reducing the manual effort traditionally required for incident response and threat hunting. AI-driven agents accelerate analysis, enrich investigative context, reduce dwell time, and speed detection. Instead of relying on complex queries or deep familiarity with underlying data structures, security teams can now perform seamless, identity-centric reasoning within a single interaction.” - Frank Gasparovic, Director of Solution Architecture, Technology Alliances, Silverfort Use Case 2: Cyber Resilience, Backup & Recovery Investigation Scenario: Are the threats detected on a backup indicative of production impact and recovery risk? Signals Correlated: Backup threat telemetry: Backup threat scan alerts, risk analysis events, affected host/workload, detection timestamps Cross-vendor security alerts: Endpoint, network, and cloud security alerts for the same host/workload in the same time window Correlation Logic: The agent correlates threat signals originating from the backup environment with security telemetry associated with same host/workload to validate whether there is corroborating evidence in the production environment and whether activity aligns in time. Practical Example: Commvault Security Investigation Agent, which is built on a similar framework, takes a hostname as input and builds an investigation across Commvault Threat Scan / Risk Analysis events and third-party security telemetry. By correlating backup-originating detections with production security activity for the same host, the agent determines whether the backup threat signal aligns with observable production impact. Outcome: By correlating backup threat detections with endpoint, network, and cloud security telemetry while validating timing alignment, event spikes, and data coverage, the agent connects a backup originating threat signal to production evidence, enabling the analyst to quickly assess impact likelihood and determine appropriate actions such as containment or recovery-point validation. Use Case 3: Network, Exposure & Connectivity Investigation Scenario: Is this activity indicative of legitimate remote access, or does it demonstrate suspicious connectivity and access attempts that increase risk to private applications and internal resources. Signals Correlated: User access telemetry: Source user, source IPs/geo, device/context, destinations Auth and enforcement outcomes: Success vs. failure, MFA allow/block Behavior drift: new/rare IPs/locations, unusual destination/app diversity. Suspicious activity indicators: Risky URLs/categories, known-bad indicators, automated/bot-like patterns, repeated denied private app access attempts Correlation Logic: An analyst receives an alert for a specific user and needs to determine whether the activity reflects expected behavior such as travel, remote work, or VPN usage, or whether it signals the early stages of a compromise that could later extend into private application access. Practical Example: Zscaler ZIA ZPA Correlation Agent starts with a username and builds a bounded, last-24-hour investigation across Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access activity. By correlating user internet behavior, access context, and private application interactions, the agent connects the initial Zscaler alert to any downstream access attempts or authentication anomalies, enabling the analyst to quickly assess risk, identify suspicious patterns, and determine whether Zscaler policy adjustments are required. Outcome: Provides a last‑24‑hour verdict on whether the activity reflects expected access patterns or escalation toward private application access, and recommends next actions—such as closing as benign drift, escalating for containment, or tuning access policy—based on correlated evidence. Use Case 4: Endpoint & Runtime Intelligence Investigation Scenario: Is this process malicious or a legitimate admin action? Signals Correlated: Execution context: Process chain, full command line, signer, unusual path Account & logon: Initiating user, logon type (RDP/service), recent risky sign-ins Tooling & TTPs: LOLBins, credential access hints, lateral movement tooling Network behavior: Suspicious connections, repeated callbacks/beaconing Correlation Logic: A PowerShell alert triggers on a production server. The agent ties the process to its parent (e.g., spawned by a web worker vs. an admin shell), validates the command-line indicators, correlates outbound connections from the same PID to a first-seen destination, and checks for immediate follow-on persistence and any adjacent runtime alerts in the same time window. Outcome: Classifies the activity as malicious vs. admin and produces an evidence pack (process tree, key command indicators, destinations, persistence/tamper artifacts) as well as the recommended containment step (isolate host and revoke/reset initiating credentials). Use Case 5: Exposure & Exploitability Investigation Scenario: What is the likelihood of exploitation and blast radius? Signals Correlated: Asset exposure: Internet-facing status, exposed services/ports, and identity or network paths required to reach the workload Exploit activity: Defender alerts on the resource, IDS/WAF hits, IOC matches, and first seen exploit or probing attempts Risk amplification signals: Internet communication, high privilege access paths, and indicators that the workload processes PII or sensitive data Blast radius: Downstream reachability to crown jewel systems (e.g., databases, key vaults) and trust relationships that could enable escalation Correlation Logic: An analyst receives a Medium/High Microsoft Defender for Cloud alert on a workload and needs to determine whether it’s a standalone detection or an exploitable exposure that can quickly progress into privilege abuse and data impact. The agent correlates exposure evidence signals such as internet reachability, high-privilege paths, and indicators that workload handles sensitive data by analyzing suspicious network connections in the same bounded time window. Outcome: Produces a resource-specific risk analysis that explains why the Defender for Cloud alert is likely to be exploited, based on asset attack surface and effective privileges, plus any supporting activity in the same 24-hour window. Use Case 6: Threat Intelligence & Adversary Context Investigation Scenario: Is this activity aligned with known attacker behavior? Signals Correlated: Behavior sequence: ordered events identity → execution → network. Technique mapping: MITRE ATT&CK technique IDs, typical progression, and required prerequisites. Threat intel match: campaign/adversary, TTPs, IOCs Correlation Logic: A chain of identity compromise, PowerShell obfuscation, and periodic outbound HTTPS is observed. The agent maps the sequence to ATT&CK techniques and correlates it with threat intel that matches a known adversary campaign. Outcome: Surfaces adversary-aligned behavioral insights and TTP context to help analysts assess intrusion likelihood and guide the next investigation steps.

At RSAC last year, we introduced the Microsoft Sentinel Promise with a straightforward commitment to our customers: that third-party data ingestion for Sentinel is reliable, predictable, and scalable without the need for complex custom coding and architecting. In other words, your connectors for Sentinel will just work. That promise has guided App Assure’s work ever since, enabling customers to bring data from across their various security solutions into Sentinel to drive clearer insights and stronger protection. Over the past year, that foundation has proven critical. As organizations move from legacy SIEM platforms to Sentinel, consistent access to high-quality third-party data remains essential, not only for detection and response, but increasingly for advanced analytics and AI-driven security experiences. With the introduction of Microsoft Sentinel data lake, customers and partners can now reason over security data cost-effectively and at greater scale. But as many teams are discovering, unlocking those outcomes requires more than simply getting data in the door. At App Assure, we’ve seen a clear pattern emerge. Software companies often revisit connector design and data modeling multiple times as they help our mutual customers move from ingestion to analytics, and then again as they begin building agentic AI solutions, whether through Security Copilot, MCP server integrations, or custom workflows. Each iteration brings new requirements and new questions, often upstream of where teams initially started. That’s why, as an extension of our Sentinel Promise, we’re excited to announce the Sentinel Advisory Service from App Assure. A Natural Evolution The Sentinel Advisory Service builds directly on the work we’ve been doing through the Sentinel Promise and our support for Sentinel data lake. Our commitment to helping customers bring third-party data into the platform remains unchanged. What this new service adds is an expert-guided approach focused on helping software companies design customer solutions and data strategies with downstream outcomes in mind. Rather than addressing ingestion challenges in isolation, the Sentinel Advisory Service is designed to help teams think end-to-end across the Sentinel platform: aligning connector design, data structure, and platform capabilities to support advanced scenarios such as AI agents, analytics jobs, and marketplace-ready solutions. The goal is fewer rebuild cycles, faster progress, and greater confidence as teams move from data ingestion to meaningful security outcomes. What Sentinel Advisory Service Offers The Sentinel Advisory Service is a no-cost program delivered by App Assure in close collaboration with Sentinel engineering to continually make it easier to build and maintain connectors that utilize data lake and facilitate building agentic AI solutions on top of it. Key areas of support include: Technical workshops covering best practices for Sentinel integrations, data lake usage, and agent development Advisory guidance on leveraging Sentinel platform features to support AI-driven security scenarios Code samples and design reviews to unblock development and improve solution quality Break/fix assistance and escalation paths to Microsoft engineers to assist with software development and provide product feedback Early Partner Momentum We’re already seeing strong momentum from software companies participating in early advisory engagements. Partners are working with App Assure to refine Sentinel integrations and explore new agentic AI scenarios built on a solid data foundation. Their work reflects a broader shift across the ecosystem: moving beyond connectivity alone, toward building differentiated, outcome-driven security solutions on Sentinel. Below are some of the partners we’ve already worked with and what they have to say about the experience: Srinivas Chakravarty, VP of Cloud & AI Ecosystem, Gigamon “Through active collaboration with Microsoft Security Engineering and the App Assure team, we quickly created and published our CCF-Push connector to deliver enriched network-derived telemetry from the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline into Sentinel data lake. In a parallel sprint, with the introduction of our initial Security Copilot Agent, security teams can apply AI to this network intelligence within Sentinel to uncover threats hidden in encrypted and lateral traffic that might otherwise go undetected.” Mario Espinoza, Chief Product Officer, Illumio "Illumio is proud to partner with Microsoft, proving together that cybersecurity can scale. Microsoft's product management teams collaborated closely with Illumio on several integrations, most recently Illumio Insights Agent for Security Copilot and Illumio for Microsoft Sentinel Data Lake Connector. Together, Illumio and Sentinel solutions empower customers to correlate joint security threat findings and ensure breaches don't become disasters." Duncan Barnes, Director Global Alliances, RSA "The partnership between RSA and Microsoft, exemplified by the RSA Advisor for Admin Threats agent, underscores the value of the Sentinel Advisory Service. It highlights how collaborative innovation drives differentiated, outcome-driven security solutions, ensuring customers can migrate with confidence and harness the full potential of agentic AI to find, prioritize, and resolve threats faster and more efficiently." Vlad Sushitsky, Research Engineer, Semperis “We developed a Security Copilot agent that correlates Tier-0 classifications, identity attack paths, and Indicators of Exposure for any given identity. The correlation is powered by Semperis Lightning telemetry, streamed into the Data Lake through our new data connector. What used to take analysts hours of manually pivoting across multiple tables to piece together an identity's risk profile now happens instantly in a single conversation. This gives our joint customers significantly better visibility into identity threats, faster investigations, and substantial cost savings. Developing the agent on Security Copilot was smooth and fast — thanks to great collaboration with the Microsoft team, we had it up and running in a matter of days.” Harman Kaur, SVP Technology Strategy and AI, Tanium "This partnership with Microsoft represents a new level of AI and security integration. Through the Microsoft Sentinel Advisory Service, Tanium integrated AI agents into Microsoft Security Copilot, including the recently launched Tanium Security Triage Agent with Identity Insights. By unifying Tanium’s real-time endpoint intelligence with identity information from the Microsoft Sentinel data lake and Entra ID, security analysts gain the speed, precision and confidence needed to stop threats before they escalate." Ariel Negrin, Worldwide Head of Partnerships and Alliances, Upwind "Through the Sentinel Advisory Service and the broader App Assure engineering teams, Microsoft has been side‑by‑side with us, from connector and data model design to advanced AI scenarios, helping us architect for high‑quality ingestion, graph‑aware context, and AI security use cases. That level of hands‑on guidance and roadmap alignment means our joint customers get faster time to value, fewer integration rebuilds, and a more intelligent security experience built on top of the Microsoft security stack they already trust." Matthew Payne, Field Engineer, XBOW "The team worked alongside us from the start, not just on ingestion, but on designing how XBOW's penetration testing data should flow into Sentinel to actually drive downstream outcomes. Their engineering guidance helped us build agents for Security Copilot and a Sentinel data connector that turns validated exploit paths into actionable security telemetry. The result is that joint customers can trigger a pentest, see real findings in Sentinel alongside their existing alerts, and investigate and remediate without leaving the Microsoft security console." Paul Lopez, Principal Solutions Architect, Zscaler "Organizations looking to improve visibility across internet and private access activities benefit from integrating these signals. Through collaboration with Microsoft’s App Assure team, Zscaler’s ZIA–ZPA Correlation Agent for Security Copilot leverages data from the Sentinel Data Lake to deliver a single, cohesive view, simplifying investigations and enabling faster response times."
