Threat Detection Template
This template creates a configuration that checks if a threat is detected or the local device has not been scanned recently. It can be found in the COMPLIANCE CHECK category when filtered for SAAS platform.
If a threat is detected or the local device has not been scanned recently, you can choose between two actions:
- Sets the Compliance State in Microsoft Entra ID based on if a threat is detected or the local device has not been scanned recently.
- Sets an Extension Attribute in Microsoft Entra ID based on if a threat is detected or the local device has not been scanned recently.
deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your SaaS environments. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your SaaS environment.
We will perform the following steps:
Step 1: Prerequisites
If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console, Client Extension and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started guide.
Step 2: Contexts
The template has imported the following contexts:
| Context | Description | Customizations |
|---|---|---|
| Threat Detection | Defines if the local device has been recently scanned and has no current threats. | None |
- If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.
Step 3: Actions
The template includes a notifying action that displays a message to the user about a context status and an enforcement action that actively controls access to the session. By default, only the notifying action is enabled and the enforcement action is disabled.
| Action | Description | Default State | Customizations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Threat Detection - Conditional Access - Enforcement - Compliance State | Sets the Compliance State in Microsoft Entra IDD based on if a threat is detected or the local device has not been scanned recently. | Deactivated | None |
| Threat Detection - Conditional Access - Enforcement - Extension Attribute
|
Sets an Extension Attribute in Microsoft Entra ID based on if a threat is detected or the local device has not been scanned recently.
|
Deactivated
|
You may want to update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:
Microsoft Entra ID Set Extension Attribute [1]
Set Extension Attribute may be changed to a value suitable for your organisation. |
- If both actions have been disabled, the contexts will still be created.
- If both actions have been activated, then both the Compliance State and the Extension Attribute will be updated.
