Preface
Office 365 provides a broad set of office applications as document management, web mail, presentation creation and more. Office 365 services are delivered as a cloud service. Office 365 helps organizations move faster with infinite scalability and lower cost for their office applications needs. But at the same time, the public cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) model presents the organization with new security challenges.
The main challenges and needs are to:
- Get and retain full audit of activities in Office 365 account
- Retrieve the Office 365 account activities as users’ access, permissions changes, files are uploaded and shared, security settings changes, emails traffic logs, suspicious alerts from Azure AD and many more.
- The granular activities should be available at the organization’s central log or event management system for compliance, investigation or forensic needs.
- Detect security threats and policy violations
What is it
SkyFormation Cloud Connector for Office 365, is part of the SkyFormation Cloud Connectors module. It continuously ingests audit events from multiple audit sources in the Office 365 account, unify the events into a common application events format, enrich the events with needed detection context and send the events to any existing SIEM/SOC system.
How it works
SkyFormation Cloud Connector for Office 365 retrieves the events from the Office 365 service through the service APIs. Before sending the events to the existing SIEM/SOC system the connector will
- Unify the events into the SkyFormation unified application events format
- Embed the origin event into the SkyFormation event
- Complement the event with missing information
- Enrich the event with detection context as AD identity information
- Encode the resulted event into a standard format as CEF
- Send the event to the existing SIEM/SOC system over syslog
