MDR for M365 provides continuous monitoring of your Microsoft 365 accounts, detecting and responding to breaches or attempted breaches. If suspicious activity is detected, the service takes immediate action to either prevent the intrusion or lock out the attacker to avoid any damage. Like EDR, this service operates 24/7.

It also tracks unusual login locations or patterns that deviate from the norm and alerts cybersecurity teams for further investigation. For instance, if you’re usually logging in from Ireland but the system detects a login from Spain, it could indicate you’re traveling, or it may signal a compromised account. MDR sends alerts when such activity occurs, ensuring timely investigation.

Additionally, MDR detects and flags the use of Virtual Private Network (VPN) software, which hackers often use to disguise their location and mimic the typical login region of the target user.

By combining cutting-edge software with expert analysis, EDR ensures that threats are addressed as soon as they are detected. Cybersecurity specialists are available around the clock to remove or contain risks, safeguarding your data from unauthorized access. With 24/7 monitoring, any breach is quickly contained or neutralized to protect your sensitive information, no matter when it happens.
