Rule 11 - Defender for Cloud Apps Report Time Frame used by CI Sync

Rule Synopsis

For context: Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps gathers information from various sources to discover Cloud Applications. By aggregating and analysing these sources, Defender for Cloud Apps achieves two things relevant to synchronization of the data into ServiceNow via CI Sync:

  1. It allows Defender to determine the vulnerability state of applications.

  2. It allows Defender to determine which users are using those applications.

Defender for Cloud Apps maintains the aggregated data for durations configured in Defender for Cloud Apps.

CI Sync allows customers to determine the duration (in days) by which CI Sync will query/retrieve the Defender for Cloud Apps data.

Rule Details

  • By default, CI Sync queries 30x days worth of Defender for Cloud Apps data.

Override Options

Context

Customers may wish to change the duration of days queried by CI Sync to meet their business needs.

Options

Customers can set duration to 7x days, 30x days (the default) or 90x days.

Overriding via Connection Settings
