Traditional antivirus solutions aren’t enough. Modern threats require modern protection, and traditional antivirus solutions can’t keep up. Defender for Business is a cloud-connected, AI-powered service which helps us to identify, protect against, detect, and respond to sophisticated cyberattacks, helping you to stay secure. It protects your mailboxes, files, applications, and devices against new, sophisticated attacks in real time.
By protecting against unsafe attachments and expanding protection against malicious links, it complements the security features of Microsoft 365 to provide better zero-day protection.
No business can afford to become complacent about cybersecurity. An organisation known as NFIB tracks cybercrime and resulting fraud originating from the UK. Between 2021 to 2022, business losses exceed £3bn.
If you think of your business as a building, let’s look at how this solution keeps you safe.
Threat and Vulnerability Management
Like a building inspector looking at your doors and windows for potential weaknesses. It’s a risk-prevention approach to vulnerability management that helps reduce threats before they can grow into serious problems later.
Attack Surface Reduction
Works by making sure the windows are locked, and only the right people have keys to the front door. This helps minimise risk by reducing the attack surfaces open across your devices.
Next Generation Protection
Acts as the lock for your front door. It helps to stop the things you don’t want to enter, from file-based and fileless malware, to spyware.
Endpoint Detection & Response
Like a security camera system helping you see and record an intruder in the building. Defender’s advanced tools then sets off the alarms allowing us to respond directly to the problem device or file.
Auto Investigation & Remediation
Your alarm system calling the authorities and taking the intruder away. Microsoft Defender for Business automatically investigates alerts and helps remediate complex threats, acting as your personal security analyst working 24/7 to protect your business.
