Microsoft Entra ID & Cybersixgill Integration
Streamline Credential Security with Cybersixgill’s Integration for Microsoft Entra ID
About Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
Microsoft Entra ID is a leading identity and access management solution, designed to safeguard users and enhance security across the cloud and on-premises. With robust authentication mechanisms, it ensures that the right people have the right access to resources, boosting productivity while maintaining stringent security standards. Entra ID is known for its seamless integration with a wide array of applications, enabling organizations to manage user identities, enforce policies, and protect against identity-based threats in a unified, scalable manner.
The Challenge
In today’s digital landscape, organizations are flooded with alerts of leaked credentials, leaving cybersecurity teams overwhelmed with the sheer volume of data. Prioritizing which credentials to remediate becomes a daunting task, as not all credentials pose the same level of risk. Without the ability to validate if a credential is still in use, organizations struggle to distinguish between those requiring immediate action and those that are irrelevant, leading to potential security gaps.
The Solution
Cybersixgill’s new integration with Microsoft Entra ID allows users to validate leaked credentials by cross-referencing them with their organization’s directory. When a set of relevant leaked credentials is detected in Cybersixgill's datalake, the integration checks whether the user account is active or inactive within Microsoft Entra ID and provides the user with an indication of the status. This validation empowers security teams to focus on remediating high-risk credentials still in use, streamlining the response process and improving overall security posture.
The capabilities delivered by this partnership:
Reduced Risk Exposure:
By validating leaked credentials against Microsoft Entra ID, security teams can focus on active user accounts, minimizing the risk of compromised, high-priority credentials being exploited.
Enhanced Security Workflows:
The integration seamlessly embeds validation results into Cybersixgill alerts and the identity module, enabling faster decision-making and more efficient remediation efforts.
Improved Incident Prioritization:
By confirming whether credentials are still in use, the integration helps prioritize responses, allowing teams to allocate resources effectively toward the most urgent threats.
Comprehensive Reporting and Analysis:
With the ability to export validation data, security teams gain valuable insights into credential status for auditing, compliance, and long-term threat analysis.
