INTEGRATION

Microsoft

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with enrolled device inventory and compliance data from Microsoft Entra ID.

About
Microsoft

Microsoft Entra ID is a cloud-based identity and access management service for device registration and management. By integrating Microsoft Entra ID with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing enrolled device inventory and compliance data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the Microsoft management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate iam telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
Microsoft Entra ID
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    Microsoft Entra ID supplies records including device display name, device ID, OS and version, device type, join type (Entra joined / hybrid / registered), compliance state, ownership and registration timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating Microsoft signals with OT network alerts

    When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's Microsoft Entra ID record in Vantage to review device-trust state, last sign-in and compliance posture, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Microsoft, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by Microsoft Entra ID but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with device display name, OS, join type and compliance state drawn from the Microsoft management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

  • Tying network observations to enrolled-device identity context

    Devices enrolled with Microsoft Entra ID are matched against assets observed on the OT and IT network in Vantage, exposing endpoints that are network-active but not directory-managed, or directory-managed but missing from network observation. This correlation supports zero-trust audit workflows where every network-observed device must map to a known identity-managed asset.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • Microsoft Entra ID tenant with an app registration granted Device.Read.All Graph permission
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between Microsoft Entra ID-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
