🔹 Feature: Identity Risk Management Agent in Microsoft Entra ID Protection
🔹 What It Does: An AI agent backed by Security Copilot that protects your identities automatically — but on your terms. It investigates every risky user in your tenant, correlates sign-in logs, risk detections, and audit signals, then generates a clear risk summary and a recommended remediation action for each one.
What Is It Giving You:
✅ Autonomous Investigation, Per Risky User: The agent picks up users in “At risk” state, digs into their risky sign-ins and risk detections, and produces a thorough risk summary explaining exactly why this account is suspicious — and what to do about it.
✅ Clear, Actionable Recommendations: For each investigated user, the agent suggests the right remediation (reset password, require MFA, block sign-in, confirm safe, etc.) backed by the evidence it found. No more guessing why an alert fired.
✅ Chat With the Agent: Ask follow-up questions about any risky user or summary. The agent answers in natural language so you understand the reasoning before acting.
✅ Agent Memory for Your Org’s Preferences: Give the agent custom instructions (“for finance team users, always recommend X first”) and it remembers them for future runs — tailored to how your team operates.
✅ Scales the Boring Part: Each run investigates up to 100 risky users in about 10–15 minutes — work that would take a human analyst a full day.
⚠️ Important — read this before you enable it:
Nothing happens automatically. The agent only produces recommendations. Every remediation requires manual admin approval. No surprise password resets, no auto-blocks. You stay in control.
It’s worth enabling — the investigation, correlation, and summary writing is the work. Acting on the recommendation is one click.
AI-generated summaries can be incomplete or incorrect — review with human judgment before applying any change.
change.
Today it analyzes user identities only — workload identities (apps, service principals) aren’t supported yet.
📋 Worth knowing:
Requires Microsoft Entra ID P2 license.
Needs Security Copilot — under 1 SCU per run on average (at least 1 SCU must be provisioned and is billed monthly).
Security Administrator to activate and act on suggestions; Security/Global Reader can view only.
For SOCs drowning in alerts and admins who want AI to do the homework but never the final action — this is the right tradeoff. Enable it. Review the summaries. Click the approval. Done. 🚀
