With **BitLyft AIR® v1.16**, we’re removing one of the most common onboarding hurdles: the complicated process of creating and configuring a Microsoft app registration. This update introduces a **new, frictionless Microsoft onboarding experience** that eliminates repetitive steps, reduces user error, and gets teams up and running in less than a minute. ## **One Minute to Onboard, Seriously.** The days of navigating Azure portals, manually creating app registrations, and stepping through multiple configuration screens are over. With AIR® v1.16, onboarding Microsoft is now as simple as: 1. **Start the integration** 2. **Authorize with Microsoft** 3. **Select your account** 4. **Accept the required permissions** 5. **Choose the events you want to ingest** That’s it: no manual setup, no complex instructions, no back-and-forth between windows. ## **Why This Matters** Security teams deserve tools that work quickly and consistently. By automating the entire Microsoft onboarding process, AIR® v1.16 delivers: - **A faster path to value**: Get integrated and ingesting events in under a minute. - **Reduced chance of misconfiguration**: Fewer steps mean fewer opportunities for mistakes. - **A smoother experience for every user**: Whether you’re onboarding your first tenant or your fiftieth. - **Less friction and more confidence**: You always know exactly what’s being connected and how. ## **Quick. Easy. Simple.** BitLyft AIR® v1.16 focuses on removing friction so you can spend less time setting up and more time securing your environment. This is the first of several improvements aimed to streamline integrations, reduce operational overhead, and make automation even more accessible. Stay tuned, more enhancements are on the way in V1.17. **Discover what AIR® can do for your security operations:**[https://www.bitlyft.com/air](https://www.bitlyft.com/air?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Share: [facebook-f icon](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.bitlyft.com/resources/bitlyft-air-v1.16-frictionless-microsoft-onboarding-is-here) [linkedin-in icon](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.bitlyft.com/resources/bitlyft-air-v1.16-frictionless-microsoft-onboarding-is-here) [twitter icon](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.bitlyft.com/resources/bitlyft-air-v1.16-frictionless-microsoft-onboarding-is-here) [pinterest-p icon](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=https://www.bitlyft.com/resources/bitlyft-air-v1.16-frictionless-microsoft-onboarding-is-here) [envelope icon](mailto:?body=https://www.bitlyft.com/resources/bitlyft-air-v1.16-frictionless-microsoft-onboarding-is-here) [![Group 1000001766](https://www.bitlyft.com/hubfs/Group%201000001766.svg "Group 1000001766")](https://www.bitlyft.com) [BitLyft AIR®](https://www.bitlyft.com/air) [Agentic MDR](https://www.bitlyft.com/agentic-mdr) [Partner](https://www.bitlyft.com/partners) [Privacy Policy](https://www.bitlyft.com/privacy-policy) [Careers](https://www.bitlyft.com/careers) [Blog](https://www.bitlyft.com/resources) [White Papers](https://www.bitlyft.com/downloads) [Use Cases](https://www.bitlyft.com/case-studies) [Miller Mindset Podcast](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz7CtIA5QhhJgjIo3CUpdm7gm3Th6mrcm) [About Us](https://www.bitlyft.com/about-us) [Contact Us](https://www.bitlyft.com/contact-us) [News](https://www.bitlyft.com/news) [Get A Quote](https://www.bitlyft.com/get-a-quote) [facebook-f icon](https://www.facebook.com/BitLyft) [linkedin-in icon](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bitlyft/) [twitter icon](https://twitter.com/bitlyft) [youtube icon](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGMnF3PMXFgTotrnPJfC87w) Copyright © 2026, BitLyft Cybersecurity [![BitLyft Cybersecurity](https://www.bitlyft.com/hubfs/BitLyft-header-logo.svg)](https://www.bitlyft.com) Solutions [FeaturedBitLyft AIR® Autonomous SOC — detection, response & remediation on autopilot, around the clock.
