Microsoft Azure Account Takeover Protection

Analyze human behavior to protect Azure cloud workloads.

Key Insights

Abnormal connects to Azure via Microsoft Graph API, automatically ingesting and normalizing access data for every user.

Abnormal builds a behavioral baseline per user and flags deviations to detect Azure account takeover attempts.

When suspicious activity is detected, an AI-generated Case is scored by confidence level and enriched with cross-platform activity.

Microsoft's native security tools alone are considered insufficient to protect Azure from phishing and social engineering attacks.

Abnormal's platform extends consistent visibility and detection across Azure and all other integrated cloud applications.

Extend Abnormal Protection Across All Platforms

Cloud phishing breaches—that is, breaches affecting your cloud apps and services that result from the exploitation of human vulnerability through advanced phishing and social engineering tactics—are a primary concern for Security teams. In most organizations, Azure is “the cloud,” necessitating a greater level of protection than Microsoft’s security tools alone can provide. To stop attackers from compromising Azure, security teams need an extensible platform that provides consistent visibility and security automation across not only Azure cloud workloads but all cloud applications and infrastructure services for holistic, higher fidelity detection. Abnormal provides that platform.

How Abnormal Secures Azure

Simple API Integration

Connect directly to the Microsoft Graph API with Abnormal’s cloud-native API architecture—automatically ingesting and normalizing access data for every human that signs in to Azure.

Continuous Monitoring of Human Behavior in Azure

Automatically learn and dynamically monitor Azure access patterns, develop a behavioral baseline and profile for every human on the Azure platform, and automatically detect and analyze behavioral deviations.

AI Account Takeover and Response

When suspicious activity occurs, Abnormal Human Behavior AI automatically triggers the creation of a contextual Case populated with Azure activity. Each Case is scored based on detection confidence and continually enriched with new activity across all platforms integrated with Abnormal.
