Connect CybSafe to Microsoft 365

Use this article to setup our integration with Microsoft 365 to begin to track security behaviours from your MS 365 environment.

Written by Ben Chadfield

What is the Integration with CybSafe and MS 365 for?

Now, you can connect your organisation’s Microsoft 365 apps to CybSafe, cast that net wider, and capture a broader range of security behaviour data for CybSafe to crunch.

To explore more on our security behaviours, take a look at SebDB, its an amazing resource even if we say so ourselves!

This integration is currently focused on growing the number of measurable security behaviours to help your people improve. Integrating with more software and gathering the data allows us to do this.

CybSafe tracks these security behaviours from Microsoft 365 and Entra:

  • Authenticates with SSO, from sign-ins to Microsoft 365.

  • Works only on an approved device, when a sign-in comes from a compliant, managed device.

  • Authenticates with MFA, Authenticates with a passkey, Authenticates with a security key and Authenticates with biometrics, from Entra's authentication methods report (needs Entra ID P1 or P2).

  • Reports a suspicious message, when someone reports a message in Outlook.

  • Keeps a password private, Shares sensitive information only with an approved recipient and Shares sensitive information only in an approved communication channel, from Purview DLP rules you have switched on.

These events feed your behaviour reports and people's behaviour scores. The full list, and what each one needs, is in Security behaviors tracked by CybSafe and our integrations.
