SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates end-to-end security incident investigations by orchestrating metadata retrieval, alert listing, asset enumeration, evidences extraction, and deep entity analysis using Defender XDR and Sentinel MCP tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incident metadata retrieval: Pulls incident details (title, severity, status, MITRE techniques) and related context.
  • Comprehensive asset & evidence gathering: Enumerates devices, users, apps, cloud resources, and evidences (malicious/suspicious processes, files, IPs, URLs, domains) with filtering and defanging.
  • Phase-driven workflow & workspace management: Enforces mandatory Sentinel workspace selection, presents entity summaries, and supports parallel investigations across users, devices, and IoCs.
  • In-depth investigations: Leverages user-investigation, computer-investigation, and ioc-investigation skills to surface findings and deliver structured outputs ready for reporting.
  • Use Case: When a security incident is identified, the skill guides operators through a reproducible, auditable investigation from incident description to actionable results.

Quick Start

Install prerequisites and start an incident investigation by supplying an incident ID, then select assets/entities for deeper analysis and generate a structured report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate security incident investigation with Defender XDR and Sentinel?

Security incident investigation is automated by orchestrating metadata retrieval, alert listing, and entity analysis using Defender XDR and Sentinel MCP tools. Supply an incident ID, select a mandatory Sentinel workspace, and generate structured findings.

What is the process for extracting evidences and assets during a security incident?

Evidence extraction during a security incident enumerates devices, users, apps, and cloud resources while filtering malicious processes, files, IPs, URLs, and domains. It defangs indicators to safely present actionable entity summaries for reporting.

Can I investigate users, devices, and IoCs in parallel across Sentinel workspaces?

Yes, parallel investigation across users, devices, and IoCs is supported after mandatory Sentinel workspace selection. The workflow coordinates user-investigation, computer-investigation, and ioc-investigation skills to surface structured findings simultaneously.

Does this incident investigation workflow support phase tracking and auditability?

Incident investigation supports Phase 1-3 workflows with phase-tracking for auditability. It guides operators through a reproducible process from incident description to actionable results, ensuring structured outputs ready for reporting.

How do I start an end-to-end security incident investigation?

Start an end-to-end security incident investigation by supplying an incident ID, then select assets and entities for deeper analysis. The workflow retrieves incident metadata including title, severity, status, and MITRE techniques before entity analysis.

What prerequisites do I need for Sentinel MCP and Defender XDR incident analysis?

Sentinel MCP and Defender XDR incident analysis requires installing prerequisites and having valid incident IDs. Mandatory Sentinel workspace selection is enforced before any metadata retrieval, alert listing, or entity investigation can proceed.
