Know your gear
Traditional IT security tools provide limited protection against sophisticated cyber-security attacks when user credentials are stolen. Initial set up, creating rules, and fine-tuning are cumbersome and may take years. Every day, you receive several reports full of false positives. Most of the time, you don't have the resources to review this information and even if you could, you may still not have the answers, since these tools are designed to protect the perimeter, primarily stopping attackers from gaining access. Today's complex cyber-security attacks require a different approach. Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) provides a simple and fast way to understand what is happening within your network by identifying suspicious user and device activity with built-in intelligence and providing clear and relevant threat information on a simple attack timeline. Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics leverages deep packet inspection technology, as well as information from additional data sources (Security Information and Event Management and Active Directory) to build an Organizational Security Graph and detect advanced attacks in near real time.
