TL;DR – Key Takeaways
- Q-scout now integrates with Microsoft Sentinel, extending mobile app vetting and behavioral risk intelligence into Microsoft’s cloud-native SIEM platform.
- App data is pulled from Microsoft Intune, analyzed in Q-scout, and then fed into Microsoft Sentinel
- Strengthens enterprise mobile security posture by unifying app-level intelligence with existing Sentinel analytics.
As mobile applications continue to widen the enterprise attack surface, security teams need a more efficient and connected way to identify, correlate, and respond to app-based threats. The new Q-scout integration with Microsoft Sentinel—available to organizations using Microsoft Intune—closes that gap. It extends Q-scout’s mobile app vetting directly into Sentinel, enabling enterprises to visualize, prioritize, and respond to mobile app threats alongside existing infrastructure and network telemetry.
How Q-scout Works with Microsoft Sentinel for Unified Visibility
App inventories are automatically ingested from Intune into Q-scout and analyzed with Quokka’s proprietary, defense-grade engines to identify security, privacy, and compliance threats and risks. The analyses are ingested by Sentinel and Q-scout analytic rules trigger alerts, enabling organizations to prioritize and address app risks.
Benefits of the Q-scout and Microsoft Sentinel integration
Centralized Security Monitoring
By ingesting Quokka app risk intelligence into Microsoft Sentinel, organizations gain a centralized hub for monitoring all application related risks. This unified view simplifies the identification of suspicious data exfiltration, app collusion, and malicious activity, ensuring that security teams can respond promptly and efficiently.
Automated Threat Response & Policy Enforcement
Building on Quokka’s behavioral and anomaly detection capabilities, Microsoft Sentinel can trigger automated playbooks—such as blocking, quarantining, or flagging high-risk mobile apps identified by Q-scout. This proactive enforcement helps organizations stop threats at the application layer before they can impact users or data.
Agentless, Zero-Disruption Deployment
The integration requires no agents or additional apps on Intune-managed devices. Organizations can deploy full app risk monitoring instantly—without user friction, device configuration changes, or operational downtime. This agentless design allows security and IT teams to scale coverage rapidly across managed fleets, ensuring security posture improvement without slowing productivity.
Compliance & Security Alignment
The Q-scout and Microsoft Sentinel integration supports enforcement of mobile app security and privacy requirements aligned with GDPR, HIPAA, OWASP MASVS, and Zero Trust frameworks. The integration ensures that critical data is captured and stored within Microsoft Sentinel, facilitating easy access during compliance audits and helping organizations meet regulatory requirements and maintain robust compliance postures.
Streamlined Security Operations
By automating the ingestion of app-specific risk data, Sentinel eliminates the need for manual data pulls and report collation. Security teams can focus their time on investigation and response rather than administrative overhead. With Quokka’s behavioral intelligence feeding directly into Sentinel’s correlation engine, SOC analysts gain context-rich alerts that reduce noise and highlight what matters most—apps that pose real risk.
How Quokka Enhances Microsoft Sentinel
The Q-scout and Microsoft Sentinel integration goes beyond basic telemetry ingestion. It adds mobile app visibility and intelligence that traditional SIEM data sources simply don’t provide. Quokka’s capabilities strengthen Sentinel’s analytics with deep behavioral insights, enabling faster, more accurate threat detection and response across the mobile ecosystem.
Key advantages of Q-scout
- Comprehensive App Coverage: Q-scout scans and vets 100% of mobile apps managed by Intune to uncover hidden risks and prevent blind spots across the mobile environment.
- Behavioral and Supply Chain Intelligence: Helps detect zero-day malicious behaviors such as app collusion, data exfiltration, embedded SDK threats, and more that can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or system resources.
- Actionable Threat Insights: Translates complex app analyses into clear, prioritized insights within Microsoft Sentinel, empowering security teams to take immediate, evidence-based action through automated playbooks and workflows.
Strengthening the Mobile Security Ecosystem
The integration between Q-scout and Microsoft Sentinel represents a major step forward in unifying mobile app security with enterprise-wide threat detection and response. By extending defense-grade mobile app vetting and behavioral intelligence into the Sentinel ecosystem, organizations can now detect threats hidden deep within the mobile apps—from risky third-party libraries to apps with security, privacy and malicious behaviors.
This collaboration helps enterprises evolve from reactive response to proactive prevention, aligning mobile app security with the same intelligence, automation, and Zero Trust principles that power their broader security operations.
“As enterprises increasingly rely on mobile applications to power their business, visibility into app-level and supply chain threats has become essential to maintaining a strong security posture,” said Natee Pretikul, Principal PM Manager at Microsoft Security. “Integrating Quokka’s Q-scout mobile app vetting with Microsoft Sentinel gives our customers deeper, actionable insights into mobile risk, helping them detect and respond to compromised components, malicious SDKs, and other hidden threats faster across their entire environment.”
“This integration helps organizations take a proactive stance against mobile supply chain threats that often go unseen in traditional endpoint security,” said Vijay Pawar, SVP of Product at Quokka. “By feeding Q-scout’s behavioral intelligence and mobile app vetting directly into Microsoft Sentinel, we’re enabling security teams to identify anomalous app behaviors, strengthen security posture, and respond to emerging risks with enterprise-grade precision and automation.”
