As we all know it, there are many cyber security solutions available on the market for each organisation to choose from. However, the difficulty is to select the solution that is suitable for a specific business and the people involved.
Protecting employees’ data is one of the main objectives of cyber security, right?
Microsoft 365 Defender offers a portfolio of useful features such as automatic threat analysis across all domains. The solution offers clarity and detailed information on all activities across a business and can detect any unusual processes. Thanks to the automated features you don’t have to worry too much about operating the solution. Microsoft 365 Defender will detect and block any attacks to maintain a secure state. No matter how much data you use within your workplace, the technology will track down and analyse all data to ensure your environment is secure. Microsoft 365 Defender is currently rated by businesses across the world at 4.8/5 as a security solution based on Gartner reviews (Gartner, 2021)
So, this makes us wonder how this solution can offer unique security features for each organisation?
Microsoft 365 Defender doesn’t offer a single license but several offering different security features. When combined with each other, the licenses offer full protection on all structures.
Distinct functions
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint protection suite is supported by powerful behavioral sensors, able to collect and process behavioral signals, sending this sensor data to your administrator directly.
The cloud analytics function measures all data from connected devices with unique Microsoft threat intelligence. The information is then translated into insights to support decision making.
Threat intelligence is another feature found in Endpoint, capable of identifying attacker tools, techniques, and procedures. This process allows organisation to always be updated with the latest threats out there.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 enables you to always set the appropriate level of protection for your organization with your own policies and access real-time reports on your performance.
All business apps and data within Office 365, including email and other collaboration tools are covered by automated features of investigation to save time and effort.
Microsoft Defender for Identity Is used against advanced threats, compromised identities, and malicious insiders using correlated Active Directory signals.
Each user account and activity are monitored with learning-based analytics. identities and credentials are protected and stored safely. Suspicious user activity is investigated and solved automatically until further actions are required.
Microsoft Cloud App Security provides rich visibility, control over data travel, and sophisticated analytics to identify and combat cyberthreats across your Microsoft and third-party cloud services.
What can you achieve?
As mentioned before, a full deployment of each license available within Microsoft 365 Defender offers the best security structure possible. However, each organisation has different security objectives and may require focus on specific areas of the business.
A full deployment of Microsoft 365 Defender can offer the following results to any organisation:
- Each incident or breach identified through sophisticated sensors is instantly signaled to the administrator responsible. A full analysis is delivered on each threat for the administrator to understand exactly what is going on. Minor threats are automatically resolved by the solution.
- The automated investigation and remediation (AIR) function is applied across various entities such as work devices, mailboxes and user accounts to identify any malicious activity or breach.
- Avanced and integrated features can also be deployed to track down and control larger entities such as events and large amounts of data from devices or mailboxes.
