Microsoft Entra ID Protection risky user

Goal

Detect when Microsoft Entra ID Protection categorizes a Microsoft Entra ID user as risky.

Strategy

Monitor Microsoft Entra ID Protection and generate a signal when Microsoft Entra identifies the user as risky.

Triage and response

  1. Check for other signals and logs generated by the impacted user {{@usr.id}}, and look for deviations in the following properties:
    • Application
    • Device
    • Geolocation
    • IP address
    • User agent
  2. Reach out to the user {{@usr.id}} to confirm if they recognize the activity.
  3. If the activity is not legitimate, block the user from signing in and begin your Incident Response process.
  4. If the activity is legitimate, dismiss the user risk in the Azure portal.
