April 30, 2025[In preview] Public Preview: Azure WAF CAPTCHA Challenge for Azure Front Door
April 30, 2025As organizations increasingly rely on low-code platforms for mission-critical operations, the need for threat protection across all business applications has never been greater. Today, we announce the general availability of the Microsoft Sentinel Solution for Microsoft Business Applications – a unified solution providing threat detection and monitoring for Microsoft Power Platform (including Copilot Studio agents, apps, and flows) and Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement and Finance & Operations) workloads.
This GA release consolidates previously separate Microsoft Sentinel integrations—covering Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Copilot Studio—into a single solution. With centralized telemetry, prebuilt detections, and investigation tools, both administrators and security operations teams can proactively monitor, detect, and respond to threats across business-critical applications.
Why This Matters
Copilot Studio agents, Power Apps, and flows, along with Dynamics 365 applications, are increasingly powering core business processes. As adoption of these platforms has grown, the need for integrated threat detection and protection across them has become increasingly important for Security Teams.
The Microsoft Sentinel Solution for Microsoft Business Applications enables unified visibility across these platforms—including newer components like agents—to detect threats such as automation misuse, identity abuse, data exfiltration, and risky behavior associated with low-code artifacts.
Organizations can create or tailor their own analytics rules using Microsoft Sentinel’s flexible rule engine.
Common detection patterns include:
- Automation misuse: Copilot Studio agents or flows used to mass delete or export data outside business hours.
- Identity misuse: Suspicious sign-ins using stale or overprivileged service principal.
- Policy circumvention: Makers disabling or modifying data loss prevention (DLP) policies or connector restrictions.
- Agent-based exposure: Copilot Studio agents executing actions using outdated or misconfigured identity contexts.
For instance, consider a scenario where a user with stale credentials signs in after hours and uses Power Automate—or triggers a Copilot Studio agent—to export customer records from Dataverse. Sentinel can:
- Detect the sign-in anomaly.
- Correlate it with the automation behavior.
- Raise an alert.
- Trigger an automated response to suspend the user or notify administrators.
For Power Platform Administrators
The solution provides centralized oversight across environments, enabling platform teams to:
- Monitor real-time usage and unusual agents, apps, or flow activities.
- Detect and investigate policy changes or data access anomalies.
- Align maker actions with compliance and governance standards.
Sentinel adds a security-focused layer atop the Power Platform Admin Center and Center of Excellence tooling, helping enforce data boundaries and surface abnormal behavior early.
For Security Operations (SOC) Teams
Security teams can now treat business application telemetry as a first-class security signal—integrating Copilot Studio agent, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365 activity directly into their SIEM workflows.
Key capabilities include:
- Correlation of signals across identity, app, and data layers.
- Detection of insider misuse, misconfigured automation, or anomalous agent behavior.
- Incident investigation and automated remediation through Microsoft Sentinel.
With native integration, SOC analysts can use familiar tools to investigate threats across traditional and low-code platforms without switching context or sacrificing depth.
Unified Deployment, Simplified Management
All workloads—including Copilot Studio agents, apps, flows, ERP, and CRM systems—are now covered by a single content package in Microsoft Sentinel’s Content Hub. This simplifies onboarding, configuration, and ongoing content updates:
- Data connectors for Power Platform Admin Activity, Dataverse, and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.
- Analytics rules tailored for low-code and enterprise business scenarios.
- Workbooks and hunting queries to accelerate investigation and triage.
From flow misuse to risky agent triggers to ERP misconfigurations, everything is surfaced in one integrated view.
Operationalizing Business Application Security
The solution bridges the gap between low-code agility and enterprise-grade protection:
- Platform administrators gain real-time visibility into agent and automation behavior.
- Security teams can monitor and act on business application threats from within Sentinel.
- Collaboration improves between SOC analysts, app owners, and platform governance leads.
With incident detection, automation, and role-based response all integrated, organizations can move faster while maintaining security and compliance.
Looking Ahead
We continue to expand log coverage across Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Copilot Studio—including future opportunities to surface inventory insights and metadata directly within Sentinel.
