Microsoft Defender for Identity

What is Microsoft Defender for Identity?

Microsoft Defender for Identity is a security solution that monitors on-premises user activities and identities across an organization's network. It integrates with Microsoft 365 to correlate signals and provide a comprehensive view of potential threats to the organization's identity security landscape. The solution enables security teams to proactively address vulnerabilities, prioritize the most critical threats, and optimize their response efforts. By leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning, Microsoft Defender for Identity helps identify suspicious behaviors, detect anomalies, and alert security personnel to potential attacks before they can cause significant damage
