Integrating with Azure

Overview

Azure integration enables you to scan your Azure cloud infrastructure for runtime misconfigurations. Integration with multiple concurrent subscriptions is not supported.

Prerequisites

The following are required before you can proceed with Azure integration—

• A subscription to Azure Security.
• Microsoft Defender.

Steps for integrating with Azure

To integrate Jit with Microsoft Azure—

1. Create and configure an Azure app using the instructions in Azure app setup.
2. From the Jit platform, select Secrets in the menu bar under Settings.
3. Follow the instructions in Secrets to create secrets for your Azure client ID and Azure client secret named azure_client_id and azure_client_secret, respectively. You must use these exact names.
4. Select Integrations.
5. Locate the Azure tile and select integrate-as-code. You are taken to the jit-integration.yml file. Add the information below to this file. If the option to integrate as-code is not available, you may need to manually addjit-integration.yml to the repo containing Jit's configuration files.

azure:
  <integration_id>:
    type: azure_account
    name: "<your account name>"
    auth:
      client_id: "${{ jit_secrets.azure_client_id }}"
      client_secret: "${{ jit_secrets.azure_client_secret }}"
    tenant_id: <your Azure tenant ID>
    subscription_id: <your Azure subscription ID>

Azure app setup

Add API permissions

1. Select API permissions from the Manage menu.
2. Select Add a permission.
3. Select APIs my organization uses and select Windows Azure Active Directory from the list.
