Microsoft Defender for Office 365

 

Businesses already running a Microsoft 365 cloud infrastructure can add on Microsoft’s own solution, Microsoft Defender for Office 365. It’s a limited platform in that it assumes a Microsoft 365 ecosystem. But within that ecosystem, threat detection is respectable. The Forrester Wave named Microsoft Defender for Office 365 a leader in email security for Q2 2021.

Microsoft focuses on the threats your end users most often encounter, like business email compromise and credential phishing. Its intelligent AI-powered engine investigates attacks automatically and remediates many of them without human intervention.

Microsoft offers native protection for its apps and services, which can be a significant benefit— but only to those organizations that invest themselves in the Microsoft ecosystem. Larger, more complex entities with a stronger dependence on a larger group of interconnected tools and solutions may need to look elsewhere.

Customers using Microsoft Defender for Office 365 include Ithaca College, Hamilton Beach Brands, Johnson Controls, Bidvest International Logistics, Bridgewater, and numerous local governmental entities in several countries.
