Microsoft Defender for Business automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and Microsoft Defender for Business?
Read, transform, and write data with deterministic policy, exception routing in plain English, and full audit trail. Common patterns include data hygiene, bidirectional sync, periodic reconciliations, and exception handling that escalates to a human in Slack or Teams. Kognitos reads from Microsoft Defender for Business, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and writes back deterministically with a full audit trail, no probabilistic LLM action.
How does Kognitos connect to Microsoft Defender for Business?
Through Microsoft Defender for Business's official API using scoped credentials (OAuth or API key, depending on which Microsoft Defender for Business supports). Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with rotation; permissions are limited to what your automation actually needs.
What events in Microsoft Defender for Business can trigger a Kognitos automation?
Common triggers include an inbound webhook, a record change, a scheduled job, or a Human-in-the-Loop handoff from another Kognitos automation. Kognitos supports both event-driven (webhook) and scheduled execution, and you can mix both inside a single automation.
Can business users build Kognitos + Microsoft Defender for Business automations without code?
Yes. The Kognitos Builder Agent walks you through the process in conversation; you describe what you want in English (e.g., "every weeknight, reconcile Microsoft Defender for Business records against the warehouse and email me anything that doesn't match") and Kognitos generates and runs the automation. No drag-and-drop, no Python, and no third-party iPaaS.
Is Microsoft Defender for Business data safe with Kognitos?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-attested, ISO 27001-certified, and GDPR-aligned. Microsoft Defender for Business data is processed inside the customer tenant, encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train upstream models, and every decision is captured in an immutable English-language audit log.
