Azure Active Directory auditing and reporting tool (2024)

Azure AD auditing

• Keep a close eye on the all activities happening in your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid AD environments from a single console.
• Maintain accurate records of the logon activity of Azure AD users and identify successful, failed, and suspicious sign-in attempts.
• Examine the changes made to the users, groups, devices, applications, roles, licenses, and directories in Azure AD.
• Create custom alerts to be instantly notified of critical events, like when a guest user is assigned the Global Admin role.
• Get correlated views of your hybrid AD with contextual information like a user's on-premises SID, GUID, and Distinguished Name.
• Demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards with prepackaged compliance reports for SOX, HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA, the GDPR, and ISO.

More on Azure AD auditing

Azure AD sign-in monitoring

• Monitor all the sign-ins that take place in your Azure AD environment with accurate user logon reports.
• Report on every failed attempt to sign in to your Azure AD and investigate the reason for failure.
• Analyze the sign-in patterns of your Azure AD users and pinpoint suspicious sign-in events.
• Track sign-ins based on the MFA method used, flag MFA-related sign-in failures, and infer valuable information about MFA usage.
• Identify the users trying to log in to Azure AD using expired, old, or newly created weak passwords.
• Detect account lockouts occurring in your Azure AD and uncover potential brute-force attacks.

User object change tracking

• Stay aware of all user management activities in your Azure AD with exclusive reports detailing the users created, deleted, and updated.
• Gain valuable insights into who made the change, to whom, when, and from where along with the old and new values.
• Keep a close eye on the password change and reset actions performed by your Azure AD users and admins.
• Monitor the activities of your Azure AD administrators and identify unauthorized and unwarranted changes.
• Keep track of the user accounts that are enabled, disabled, or restored using dedicated reports.
• Find out whether a user was created in your on-premises AD or in the cloud by identifying the user creation event's origin.

Azure AD group and role management

• Utilize dedicated reports to monitor the groups that are created, deleted, or updated in your Azure AD environment.
• Know when an owner is added to or removed from a group to avoid unwanted modifications to the group's settings and membership.
• Keep a record of all the changes made to your Azure AD group memberships, including addition or removal of external users.
• Get quick insights into any changes made to the licenses assigned to a group in your Azure AD environment.
• Be instantly notified when the rules for dynamic group membership are updated and prevent privilege escalation.
• Stay on top of all role changes by keeping track of members who are added to or removed from Azure AD roles.

Application and device management

• Monitor the devices and applications that have been added, deleted, or updated, with details about who made the change and when.
• Get a detailed view of the users or owners who are either added to or removed from Azure AD registered devices.
• Access exclusive reports on recently enabled or disabled devices and recently added or updated device configurations.
• Find out which applications you have consented to and the applications to which your consent was revoked.
• Gain deep insights into application usage metrics and identify the services that are scarcely used in your environment.
• Keep a close eye on recently added or removed OAuth permissions and meet security standards across Azure tenants.

Azure sign-in risk detection

• Identify risky logon activity by Azure AD users and gain insights into the risk level, risk state, risk detail, and risk event type.
• Flag logons from anonymized, malicious, suspicious, and malware-infected IP addresses and ensure cloud security.
• Zero in on sign-in attempts to Azure AD from accounts that have been blocked through conditional access policies.
• Detect logon attempts from accounts using credentials that are simultaneously employed in password spraying attacks.
• Isolate logons occurring from atypical locations, logons via unfamiliar features, and logons with leaked credentials.
• Generate instant SMS or email alerts whenever any risky behavior is detected and initiate remediation actions.

See the big picture:Maintain a detailed Azure audit trail by tracking sign-in activity across your Azure AD environment.
Investigate logon failures:Track each failed attempt to sign in to Azure AD and zero in on the reason for failure.

Get granular insights:Report on all the changes made to users and devices and drill down to what exactly was changed by examining the old and new values.
Trace password changes:Identify users who have changed their passwords recently and track their subsequent actions to uncover compromised accounts.

Monitor Azure AD groups: Track every change made to the properties of Azure AD groups and rectify unauthorized changes.
Detect privilege escalations: Keep a close watch on group membership and ownership changes to mitigate privilege escalations.

Stay aware of critical changes: Track all modifications to conditional access policies and improve your organization's access control.
Streamline compliance:Easily comply with regulatory standards using out-of-the-box compliance reports for SOX, HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA, the GDPR, and ISO.

Pinpoint risky logons: Spot users exhibiting suspicious logon behavior that endangers your Azure AD security.
Enhance security: Isolate unsafe sign-in activities by flagging sign-in attempts from anonymized, malicious, malware infected, or suspicious IP addresses.

Receive instant alerts: Create custom alert profiles for specific use cases, like when a user logs in to a disabled application or tries to sign in using a disabled account.
Generate tickets automatically: Configure your ticketing tool to generate tickets for critical events from Azure AD.
