# Set up Microsoft Azure for the MS TVM integration

Set up your account in the Microsoft Azure portal to access the Microsoft Threat and Vulnerability Management \(MS TVM\) API remotely. You need this account to access the MS TVM tenant to gather information for machines, vulnerabilities, and security recommendations.

Complete the following setup tasks in your Microsoft Azure portal before you activate the ServiceNow® application for this integration.

To verify that you have access to the most current content, see the [Microsoft documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com) website. If you have not created an application ID for OAuth 2.0 authentication in the Microsoft Azure portal, follow the steps in this procedure.
