Collect Microsoft Defender for Endpoint logs

This document describes how you can collect Microsoft Defender for Endpoint logs by setting up a Google Security Operations feed and how log fields map to Google SecOps unified data model (UDM) fields.

For more information, see Data ingestion to Google SecOps .

A typical deployment consists of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and the Google SecOps feed configured to send logs to Google SecOps. Your deployment might be different from the typical deployment that is described in this document. The deployment contains the following components:

• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: The platform that collects logs.

• Azure Storage: The platform that stores logs.

• Google SecOps feed: The Google SecOps feed that fetches logs from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and writes logs to Google SecOps.

• Google SecOps: The platform that retains and analyzes the logs from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

An ingestion label identifies the parser that normalizes raw log data to structured UDM format. The information in this document applies to the parser with the MICROSOFT_DEFENDER_ENDPOINT ingestion label.

Before you begin

Ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• All systems in the deployment architecture are configured with the UTC time zone.
• You meet the prerequisites for using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. For more information, see Microsoft Defender XDR prerequisites .
• Configured Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
• A configured storage account in your tenant. To configure the storage account, see Configure Azure Storage account . For a general overview of storage accounts, see Microsoft Azure storage account overview .

Configure Azure Storage account

This section describes how to configure and deploy an Azure Storage account in Microsoft Azure.

Create storage account

Before you begin, ensure that your resource group has been successfully deployed in your Azure environment.

1. In the Azure portal, search for Storage accounts.
2. Click Create.

3. Provide the following configuration details under the Basicstab:

   Setting	Value
   Subscription	Select your Azure subscription.
   Resource group	Select the deployed resource group.
   Storage account name	Enter a globally unique name between 3 and 24 characters, using lowercase letters and numbers only.
   Region	Select the region closest to your users or workloads.
   Primary service	Select the primary service, such as Azure Blob Storage or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
   Performance	Select Standard(recommended for most scenarios) or Premium(for low-latency workloads).
   Redundancy	Select the replication option based on your availability requirements (for example, Locally-redundant storage (LRS)).

4. Click Review + create.

5. After validation passes, click Createto deploy the Storage Account.

Set up Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

1. Sign in to security.microsoft.com as a global administrator or security administrator.
2. In the left pane, click Settings.
3. Select the Microsoft Defender XDRtab.
4. Select Streaming APIfrom the general section and click Add.
5. Select Forward events to Azure Storage.
6. Navigate to the storage account of your choice.
7. Select Overview > JSON Viewand enter the Resource ID.
8. After you enter the resource ID, select all the required data types.
9. Click Save.

Set up feeds

There are two different entry points to set up feeds in the Google SecOps platform:

• SIEM Settings > Feeds > Add New Feed
• Content Hub > Content Packs > Get Started

How to set up the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint feed

1. Click the Microsoft Defenderpack.
2. Locate the Microsoft Defender for Endpointlog type.

3. Specify values in the following fields:

   • Source Type: Microsoft Azure Blob Storage V2.
   • Azure URI: The URI pointing to an Azure Blob Storage blob or container.
   • Source deletion option: whether to delete files or directories after transferring.
   • Maximum File Age: Include files modified in the last number of days. Default is 180 days.
   • Select Shared keyor SAS token.
   • Key: The shared key or SAS token to access Azure resources.

   Advanced options

   • Feed Name: A prepopulated value that identifies the feed.
   • Asset Namespace: Namespace associated with the feed.
   • Ingestion Labels: Labels applied to all events from this feed.

4. Click Create feed.
