What it does
Detecting Azure Lateral Movement is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Detect lateral movement in Azure AD/Entra ID environments using Microsoft Graph API audit logs, Azure Sentinel KQL hunting queries, and sign-in anomaly correlation to identify privilege escalation, token theft, and cross-tenant pivoting.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).
It sits in Security, covering Red teaming and adversary simulation. It works with Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Detecting Azure Lateral Movement loads about 808 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Detecting Azure Lateral Movement
Overview
Lateral movement in Azure AD/Entra ID differs from on-premises environments. Attackers pivot through OAuth application consent grants, service principal abuse, cross-tenant access policies, and stolen refresh tokens rather than SMB/RDP connections. Detection requires correlating Microsoft Graph API audit logs, Azure AD sign-in logs, and Entra ID protection risk events using KQL queries in Microsoft Sentinel. This skill covers building detection analytics for common Azure lateral movement techniques including application impersonation, mailbox delegation abuse, and conditional access policy bypasses.
When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require detecting azure lateral movement
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
Prerequisites
- Azure subscription with Microsoft Sentinel workspace configured
- Azure AD P2 or Entra ID P2 license for risk-based sign-in detection
- Microsoft Graph API permissions: AuditLog.Read.All, Directory.Read.All, SecurityEvents.Read.All
- Log Analytics workspace ingesting AuditLogs, SigninLogs, and AADServicePrincipalSignInLogs
- Familiarity with KQL (Kusto Query Language)
Steps
Step 1: Configure Log Ingestion
Enable diagnostic settings to stream Azure AD logs to Log Analytics:
- Sign-in logs (interactive and non-interactive)
- Audit logs (directory changes, app consent)
- Service principal sign-in logs
- Provisioning logs
- Risky users and risk detections
Step 2: Build Detection Queries
Create KQL analytics rules in Sentinel for:
- Unusual service principal credential additions
- OAuth application consent grants to unknown apps
- Cross-tenant sign-ins from new tenants
- Token replay from different IP/user-agent combinations
- Mailbox delegation changes (FullAccess, SendAs)
Step 3: Correlate Events
Chain multiple low-confidence indicators into high-confidence lateral movement detections by correlating sign-in anomalies with directory changes within time windows.
Step 4: Automate Response
Create Sentinel playbooks (Logic Apps) to automatically revoke suspicious OAuth grants, disable compromised service principals, and enforce step-up authentication.
Expected Output
JSON report containing detected lateral movement indicators, correlated event chains, affected identities, and recommended containment actions with MITRE ATT&CK technique mappings.
