This feature is only available with a ThreatSync+ NDR or Total NDR license. For more information, go to About ThreatSync+ NDR Licenses and About Total NDR Licenses.
ThreatSync+ NDR enables you to monitor logs from third-party cloud environments, such as Azure flow logs.
Azure Virtual Network (VNet) flow logs provide granular visibility into network activity across computing resources in your Azure environment. ThreatSync+ NDR uses VNet flow logs for advanced traffic analysis, to detect anomalies, identify potential security threats, and generate alerts.
Only VNet flow logs are supported. Network Security Group (NSG) flow logs will retire on 30 September 2027, and new NSG flow logs cannot be created effective 30 June 2025. For more information, go to Flow logging for network security groups in the Microsoft Azure documentation.
