New Service Account Discovery page

Microsoft Defender for Identity now includes a Service Account Discovery capability, offering you centralized visibility into service accounts across your Active Directory environment.

This update provides:

• Automatic identification of Group Managed Service Accounts, Managed Service Accounts, and user accounts operating as service accounts.
• A centralized Service Accounts inventory, displaying key attributes like account type, authentication type, unique connections, last log-on, service class and criticality.
• A Service Account details page, including an overview, a timeline of activities, alerts, and a new connections tab.
