It may seem trivial, but our telemetry shows that in complex environments IT sometimes struggle to verify that all of their domain controllers are monitored by Azure ATP. Install Azure ATP Sensor on all Domain Controllers

Configure Microsoft Defender ATP Integration.

Install Azure ATP Sensor on all Domain Controllers.

To maximize Azure ATP’s impact on your overall identity security posture, here are five improvement actions that many will find they can get done in a single day: Top 5 Most Impactful Improvement Actions to Prioritize To maximize Azure ATP’s potential to catch anomalous identity related activities and to lower your time-to-resolve them we need to ensure that Azure ATP is fully configured and to do this you can use Microsoft Secure Score to surface a series of configuration checks. From here it then analyzes the data utilizing profiling, deterministic detection, machine learning and behavioral algorithms that enable it to learn your network, detect anomalies and warn you of suspicious activities. This is where Azure ATP comes in.Īzure ATP constantly monitors your domain controllers for identity-based threats, attacks and security posture issues by capturing and parsing network traffic and leveraging Windows events. By brute forcing passwords and then using lateral movement techniques to move across an organization, attackers can achieve their targeted goals.

Using Microsoft Secure Score to Amp Your Security Posture for IdentityĪs you’re probably aware of, when an organization suffers from a cyber-attack one of the first things attacks will target are user identities. With it we can help you take full advantage of the Microsoft 365 security solutions you’ve deployed while at the same time helping you validate that they’ve been configured correctly. Microsoft Secure Score is a perfect example of this. Here at Microsoft we recognize that technology alone can’t solve the problem and so we’re increasingly focusing on delivering solutions that provide integrated capabilities on all three fronts. Based on this it’s not surprising to see stats like “93% of all breaches could have been avoided if basic cyber hygiene had been in place” ( Online Trust Alliance ).įrom my view the industry and even our customers have been overly focused on finding technological solutions with the hope they’ll will address the people and process issues that are the root cause of so many incidents. Even fewer of them are deploying or maintaining these solutions correctly.

Our customers spend a lot of time and money on security solutions and very few of them are taking full advantage of the solutions they’ve deployed.
