Default Device Attribute Mapping for Microsoft Entra ID

When a Microsoft Entra ID device context table is onboarded, it processes a predetermined set of device attributes that are collected from a Microsoft Entra ID service. This set of attributes is mapped to a set of Exabeam target attributes that are compliant with a common device information model. This model defines a standardized device object for security content across Exabeam products.

Note

License Requirement for Device Context Tables

Currently, device context data can only be accessed if you have the New-Scale Analytics license. Access to device data will be available to other licenses in the near future.

The table below lists the predetermined set of source Microsoft Entra ID attributes and the Exabeam target attributes to which they are mapped. The table is organized alphabetically by the Target Attributes column and contains the following notations:

  • * (asterisk) – Indicates attributes that are selected for display by default when onboarding a Microsoft Entra ID context table. During onboarding, you can choose to display or not display any of the available predetermined attributes by toggling the visibility icon (icon-visible.png).

  • (Calculated) – Indicates attributes that are calculated, either in format or in value. During onboarding, you can hover over the Calculated Attribute tag in the Source Attributes column to view a description of the attribute and its calculation.

  • (Primary Key) – Indicates the attribute that is designated as the key attribute for the context table. The key and its mapping cannot be changed.

Note

If you are using Microsoft Entra ID integrated with Active Directory, see the separate Integration table for attributes that are available only for that integration.Default Azure Active Directory Attribute Mapping
