Across the globe, billions of customers use Microsoft 365 to streamline their business processes and enhance productivity — which is why these tools remain a prime target for cyber criminals and hackers. According to the Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2024, Microsoft customers face more than 600 million cybercriminal and nation-state attacks every day, ranging from ransomware to phishing to identity attacks.
M365 is a subscription-based suite of productivity software such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and OneDrive. Businesses use these apps to create, collaborate and manage work from anywhere on PCs, Macs, tablets and phones.
Even with automatic updates available for these software platforms, cyber criminals are finding new ways to hack into businesses and organizations on a regular basis. Evolving threats today focus on identities, tokens and legitimate user behavior rather than malware and firewalls. In the case of M365, typical antivirus tools can’t see what’s happening inside the M365 software, so a specialized detection and response solution is needed to detect and respond to threats quickly, before they become a problem.
At ATB Technologies, we’re constantly reviewing new tools and services to keep our customers safe. M365 Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is one of those tools we believe can help prevent and protect our customers who use M365 as part of their business IT.
A Specialized Solution for a Niche Problem
Microsoft 365 ITDR is a cloud-native detection and response solution focused specifically on Microsoft 365 and M365 environments (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Azure AD, etc.). This solution fills the gap between Microsoft’s built-in defenses and the sophisticated, cloud-based attacks organizations face today by detecting and stopping threats like Business Email Compromise (BEC), token theft, and other Microsoft-centric attacks. The most effective solution is monitored 24/7 and focuses solely on the M365 environment, making it best-in-class for detecting and responding to M365 threats.
How Does It Work?
The Microsoft 365 cybersecurity solution detects and responds to threats within the M365 environment 24/7, including unveiling hidden attackers. The system profiles user behavior over time to better spot deviations that may indicate an account takeover and analyzes logs and correlates signals across multiple Microsoft services to reduce alert noise and improve detection precision. The solution investigates and remediates threats immediately and can generate executive-level summaries and technical reports.
