Microsoft has announced the general availability of the Sentinel Solution for Microsoft Business Applications, a unified security solution designed to provide advanced threat detection and monitoring for:

βœ… Microsoft Power Platform (including Copilot Studio agents, apps, and flows)
βœ… Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement and Finance & Operations) workloads

This release consolidates previously separate Microsoft Sentinel integrations into a single solution, offering:
– Centralized telemetry
– Prebuilt detections
– Advanced investigation tools

Administrators and security teams can now proactively monitor, detect, and respond to threats across critical business applications.

You Should Know: Sentinel Deployment & Threat Detection Commands

To maximize the Sentinel Solution’s effectiveness, here are key PowerShell, KQL, and Azure CLI commands for deployment and threat hunting:

1. Deploying Sentinel Solution via Azure CLI

az deployment group create --name SentinelDeployment --resource-group YourRG --template-file sentinel-template.json 
  1. Enable Data Connectors for Power Platform & Dynamics 365
    Connect-AzAccount 
    Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "Your-Subscription-ID" 
    New-AzSentinelDataConnector -ResourceGroupName "YourRG" -WorkspaceName "YourWorkspace" -Kind "MicrosoftPowerPlatform" 
    

3. KQL Query for Suspicious Power Automate Flows

PowerPlatformActivity 
| where OperationName == "CreateFlow" or OperationName == "ModifyFlow" 
| where CallerIpAddress !in ("192.168.1.1", "10.0.0.0/8") 
| project TimeGenerated, OperationName, UserPrincipalName, CallerIpAddress 

4. Hunting for Unauthorized Copilot Studio Access

CopilotStudioAuditLogs 
| where ActionType == "AgentModification" 
| where UserId != "[email protected]" 
| extend AgentName = tostring(parse_json(Properties).AgentName) 
| summarize Count=count() by UserId, AgentName 

5. Automating Sentinel Alerts with Logic Apps

New-AzLogicApp -ResourceGroupName "YourRG" -Name "SentinelAlertProcessor" -DefinitionFilePath "alert-logicapp.json" 

What Undercode Say

Microsoft Sentinel’s integration with Power Platform and Dynamics 365 is a game-changer for SecOps teams, providing:

βœ” Unified threat visibility across low-code/no-code environments

βœ” Prebuilt detections for insider threats and external attacks

βœ” AI-driven investigation via Microsoft Security Copilot

For Linux admins, similar threat hunting can be done using:

 Monitor suspicious logins 
grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log | awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $9, $11}'

Check for unusual cron jobs 
crontab -l | grep -v "^" 

Windows defenders should use:

 Detect unusual PowerShell execution 
Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName='Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational'; ID=4104} | Where-Object {$_.Message -like "Invoke-Expression"} 

Expected Output:

βœ… Sentinel Solution deployed

βœ… Power Platform & Dynamics 365 logs ingested

βœ… KQL alerts triggered on anomalies

βœ… Automated response via Logic Apps
