Azure Information Protection & Advanced Threat Protection | SysOps

Industry: IT Solution Provider

Location: USA

Problem

The customer did not have information protection in place. The documents and corporate information files were not classified (in terms of information’s need for protection). The organization also lacked end-to-end protection and control for sensitive data. Lastly, the customer did not have a formal way to respond to malicious data usage activities.
The company needed to leverage their on-premises Active Directory signals to identify, detect, and investigate advanced threats, compromised identities, and malicious insider actions directed at their organization.

The company had to focus on mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). So they’d be able to control how their organization’s devices would be used, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops and specific need based applications having full transparency.

Adoption of Microsoft Threat Protection which includes Microsoft Defender’s Advanced Threat Protection, Office 365’s Advanced Threat Protection, Azure’s Advanced Threat Protection, and Microsoft Cloud App Security to reduce infrastructure and provide an integrated security solution to protect the workforce.
