Summary

Microsoft Graph provides extensive data access useful for organizations leveraging Office 365 to enhance decision-making in threat detection and response, and this guide outlines how to enable Tines for Microsoft Graph security automation. The process involves registering a new application in the Microsoft Application Registration Portal to obtain an app ID and secret, selecting the appropriate platform, and setting up a redirect URL for authentication responses. Permissions, or OAuth2.0 scopes, are defined to allow the application to perform necessary tasks, such as reading Outlook emails. A Tines credential is then created with the app's ID and secret, and a list of permissions is included to facilitate secure access to Microsoft Graph data. Once these steps are completed, a Tines Action is set up to connect with Microsoft Graph and automate tasks like reading emails from an Outlook account, thereby allowing security analysts to perform thorough threat detection and response while freeing up resources for other high-impact activities.
