Cyber-attacks are increasing in volume and sophistication, evading traditional defenses, and posing a growing risk to enterprises from outside criminal organizations and malicious insiders in the organization. The Microsoft 365 Defender suite leverages the Microsoft 365 security portfolio - including Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Office, Cloud Apps and Identity, as well as Microsoft Sentinel and XDR - to automatically analyze threat data across domains, building a complete picture of each attack in a single dashboard to monitor, hunt, detect and remediate threats. With this breadth and depth of clarity defenders can now focus on critical threats and hunt for sophisticated breaches, trusting that the powerful automation in Microsoft's security products detects and stops attacks anywhere in the cyber-attack kill chains and returns the organization to a secure state.
