Track changes to sensitive groups with Advanced Hunting in Microsoft 365 Defender. In my role working with Defender for Identity (MDI) customers, I'm often asked if MDI can help them answer questions about activities taking place within the environment. MDI does have a lot of information around the activities taking place in Active Directory and now combined with the power of Advanced Hunting in Microsoft 365 Defender, we can help customers answer some these questions with ease and efficiency.
1. MDI tracks the changes made to Active Directory group memberships. These changes are recorded by MDI as an activity and are available in the Microsoft 365 Defender Advanced Hunting, IdentityDirectoryEvents. MDI records these changes from two different sources:
2. Tracking changes made to an entity by the Active Directory Update Sequence Number (USN). In the case of a group, MDI can see who has been added or removed from a group, but we don’t see the actor who made the change or which domain controller the change was made on. Tracking changes to a group, including who performed the action. MDI requires specific Windows events to be recorded on the domain controller.

You need to create a custom tracked query that will be used to assess the threat status of the subscription.
From the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, which page should you use to create the query?

  1. Threat analytics
  2. Advanced Hunting
  3. Explorer
  4. Policies & rules

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Advanced hunting is based on the Kusto query language. You can use Kusto operators and statements to construct queries that locate information in a specialized schema.
Custom detection rules are rules you can design and tweak using advanced hunting queries. These rules let you proactively monitor various events and system states, including suspected breach activity and misconfigured endpoints. You can set them to run at regular intervals, generating alerts and taking response actions whenever there are matches.
Note: Create a custom detection rule 1. Prepare the query. In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, go to Advanced hunting and select an existing query or create a new query.
When using a new query, run the query to identify errors and understand possible results.
2. Create new rule and provide alert details. With the query in the query editor, select Create detection rule and specify the following alert details
3. Choose the impacted entities.
Identify the columns in your query results where you expect to find the main affected or impacted entity.
4. Specify actions. Your custom detection rule can automatically take actions on devices, files, or users that are returned by the query.
