Why TacitRed Defender Threat Intelligence Matters

Compromised credentials remain one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks — yet many organizations only discover exposure after accounts are abused and damage is done. SOC teams often lack visibility into dark-web credential exposure, and alerts typically arrive after compromise, not before. 

TacitRed Defender Threat Intelligence changes this by surfacing credential exposure early and making it actionable inside Microsoft Sentinel. TacitRed continuously monitors dark-web sources for compromised credentials associated with your organization and automatically feeds validated indicators directly into Microsoft Sentinel.

Instead of relying on manual checks or external alerts, SOC teams gain proactive visibility into exposed usernames, email addresses, and accounts — correlated directly with their environment.

This enables earlier detection of credential-based risk and faster response, all from within Microsoft Sentinel.

TacitRed Defender Threat Intelligence for Microsoft Sentinel

Key Capabilities

Automated, secure, and native threat intelligence capabilities that help security teams detect and respond to compromised credentials faster within Microsoft Sentinel.

  • Dark Web Credential Monitoring

  • Automated Threat Intelligence Ingestion
    Scheduled synchronization (every 4–6 hours, configurable) ensures fresh intelligence without manual effort.
  • Native Microsoft Sentinel Integration
    Indicators are ingested directly into Sentinel for correlation with your environment.
  • Real-Time, Actionable Alerts
    Immediate alerts when compromised credentials match your users or domains.
  • Secure, Keyless Authentication
    Uses Azure system-assigned managed identity—no API keys stored in code.
  • Enterprise-Grade Logging & Auditability
    Full operational visibility via Azure Application Insights.

How It Works

Key Features

Dark Web Credential Monitoring

TacitRed continuously monitors dark web sources to identify compromised credentials linked to your organization.

Secure Data Collection

An Azure Function securely retrieves credential findings from the TacitRed platform using API-based access.

Threat Intelligence Normalization

Credential findings are automatically converted into STIX-formatted threat intelligence for consistency and accuracy.

Native Microsoft Sentinel Ingestion

Threat indicators are ingested directly into Microsoft Sentinel using ARM-based APIs for a native experience.

Intelligent Correlation

Microsoft Sentinel correlates threat intelligence with your environment data to identify real and relevant risks.

Actionable Security Alerts

Your security team receives prioritized, actionable alerts to investigate and respond quickly.

Why Security Teams Choose TacitRed Defender Threat Intelligence

TacitRed Defender Threat Intelligence gives SOC teams early, actionable visibility into credential exposure, helping them detect and respond to credential-based threats before accounts are abused.

Proactive Credential Risk Detection

TacitRed continuously monitors dark-web sources to identify compromised credentials linked to your domains or monitored assets, surfacing exposure earlier in the attack lifecycle.

Actionable Correlation Inside Sentinel

Microsoft Sentinel correlates credential intelligence with identity and activity data in your environment, generating prioritized alerts your team can act on immediately.

Automated, Native Intelligence Ingestion

Validated findings are securely retrieved and automatically ingested into Microsoft Sentinel as standardized threat intelligence — no manual checks or external dashboards required.

Designed for Enterprise SOCs

The solution uses managed identity for secure, keyless authentication, provides audit-ready logging, and eliminates infrastructure overhead through automated, serverless deployment.

Result: SOC teams detect exposed credentials sooner, investigate faster, and reduce the likelihood of account takeover and downstream compromise — all from within Microsoft Sentinel.
