Loginsoft’s Security Integration team has developed a seamless integration between Microsoft Defender and a Malware Sandbox & Phishing Analysis platform. Using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and PowerShell, this solution automates threat detection, file analysis, and intelligence sharing—helping security teams respond faster and more efficiently to emerging cyber threats.
About this integration
- Detection & Alert: Microsoft Defender identifies potential threats and generates alerts. Azure Logic App will monitor these alerts (with file attachments).
- Check Analysis History: An Azure Function App verifies if the file has been analyzed by the Malware Sandbox & Phishing Analysis platform before. If needed, it triggers re-analysis.
- File Extraction: The system securely retrieves the file from Defender quarantine using a PowerShell script and moves it to Azure for further processing.
- Deep Malware Analysis: The file is sent to the Malware Sandbox & Phishing Analysis platform for a comprehensive security verdict.
- Automated Threat Intelligence: Results are logged in Defender, helping security teams respond quickly.
- IOC Submission: If configured, indicators of compromise (IOCs) are sent to Defender, strengthening automated threat protection.
Outcome
Security teams can leverage this Microsoft Defender integration to automate threat detection, malware analysis, and IOC sharing, reducing response time and improving defence accuracy. By seamlessly extracting and analyzing suspicious files, teams can stay ahead of evolving cyber threats with minimal manual effort.
