In a new article on our eMazzanti Technologies website, a NYC area Microsoft 365 expert examines Microsoft safety features and security. The writer first argues that Microsoft’s security offerings are constantly evolving to keep up with the ever-changing cyber threat landscape.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Security, formerly known as Defender Advanced Threat Protection, is presented in the next section. In addition to protection against external threats, it also provides security for insider attacks and identity-related risks.
Towards the end of his blog post, Michael urges readers to start right away with five Microsoft 365 security features. He starts by briefly reviewing Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Cloud App Security.
The Microsoft 365 security features have alleviated many of our endpoint security, identity, and access management challenges. Almi Dumi, CISO at eMazzanti Technologies stated that he’s seen “a significant reduction in email threats.”
Check out a few of the article’s highlights below:
Whether you’re using Windows, Mac, Android devices or iOS devices, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can keep your devices safe from malicious software.
“With remote work and the ability to work on multiple devices, the attack surface has grown exponentially. Microsoft Defender helps organizations to protect each endpoint and detects anything that connects to the network. Using machine learning, it inventories each device and scans for any software or processes that are running on them.”
Microsoft Defender for Identity Protection
“Typically, attackers will attempt to compromise user accounts and then move laterally through the network. Once they have access at the admin level, they can take over a domain and wreak havoc. Formerly known as Azure Advanced Threat Detection, Microsoft Defender for Identity helps to protect against both outside attacks and insider threats.”
Microsoft Defender is a free, built-in security solution for Microsoft Office 365 that not only protects your files and folders but also warns you of unusual activity.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 ensures that you’re staying safe from viruses and malware in the office, because email is the primary way hackers attack. It includes Safe Attachment and Safelink protections, as well as a machine-learning engine that identifies phishing emails.
Microsoft Cloud App Security is a cloud-based application lifecycle management service that offers a centralized dashboard to search, manage, and monitor all Azure AD-connected applications.
Cloud applications are taking the brunt of cyberattacks as hackers look for new avenues to steal customer data and assets. As a CASB, Microsoft Cloud App Security monitors and catalogs every cloud app your company uses, assigning a score that reflects how risky it is. Generating automated policies based on your organization’s needs, it identifies and blocks risky behavior before it damages or extends beyond your business systems.
