In today’s cybersecurity landscape, cybersecurity has topped the most globally recognized pressures that modern-day organizations are facing; therefore, it is essential to put an emphasis on Advanced Threat Protection. 
Our valued partner, Microsoft, has emerged as a leader in protecting businesses from cybersecurity threats. In this blog, we’ll look at the three types of Advanced Threat Protection, including their features and benefits that make them a great choice for Saudi organizations to implement.
Introducing Microsoft’s 3 ATPS: Azure Advanced Threat Protection, Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection and Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection.

Azure Advanced Threat Protection (Azure ATP)

Azure Advanced Threat Protection (Azure ATP) helps to detect and investigate advanced attacks and insider threats across on-premises, Cloud, and hybrid environments, stopping attackers from gaining access to your system. By taking information from multiple data sources, like the logs and events in your network, Azure ATP learns the behaviour of your users and other entities within your organization and builds a behavioural profile about them. Then, when suspicious activity is detected, it alerts you via the Azure ATP workspace portal, so you can see those suspicious activities and confirm whether it is a potential attack or not.

Why Use Azure ATP

  • Malicious Activity Identifying/Tracking: b Azure ATP helps you to identify and track any malicious activities in your environment, including Pass-the-Ticket, Pass-the-Hash, horizontal or vertical brute force attacks, DNS reconnaissance, unusual protocols, malicious service creation, and others.
  • Protection from Attack Vectors: Azure ATP protects your organization from both known and unknown attack vectors before they cause damage to your organization.
  • Detects Multiple Suspicious Activities: Azure ATP focuses on several phases of the cyber-attack kill chain, including reconnaissance, lateral movement cycle, and domain dominance, and detects advanced attacks and insider threats before they can cause damage to your organization.
  • Implement Honeytoken Accounts: Azure ATP allows you to install honeytoken accounts – decoy accounts that are set up for the sole purpose of identifying and tracking malicious activity – within your network.
In short, Azure ATP protects you from both known and unknown attack vectors before they cause damage to your organization.

Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Windows Defender ATP)

Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection integrates with Azure ATP to detect and protect against malicious activity, but its focus is on the end points – the actual devices being used. Working with existing Windows security technologies, like Windows Defender Antivirus, AppLocker, and Windows Defender Device Guard, Windows Defender ATP detects sophisticated cyber-attacks by providing Cloud-powered, behaviour-based advanced attack detection.

Why Use Windows Defender ATP

  • Next-Gen Threat Protection: Windows Defender ATP has next-gen threat protection and post-breach detection built right into the Windows 10 Operating System, so you don’t need to worry about installing a new agent.
  • Adapt, Deploy, Orchestrate: Windows Defender ATP adapts to changing threats, can deploy new defenses, and can orchestrate any remediation that is required.
  • Smart & Connected Threat Protection: Windows Defender ATP uses the power of the Cloud, behaviour analytics, and machine learning to provide you with smart and connected threat protection.
  • Faster Detection and Response: With Windows Defender ATP’s comprehensive monitoring tools, you can detect any abnormalities and respond to any attacks much faster.
  • Recommendations: Windows Defender ATP lets you track your overall security posture and gives you recommendations on how to further reduce your organization’s attack surface.
  • Access to Historical Data: Windows Defender ATP enables you to search and explore up to six months of historical data across your endpoints in an instant.

Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (Office365 ATP)

Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection protects your email, files, and Office 365 applications against potential attacks such as unsafe attachments and malicious links.

Why use Office 365 ATP

  • Real-Time Protection from Sophisticated Attacks: Office 365 ATP protects your mailboxes, online storage, files, and other applications you’re using against any new, sophisticated attacks in real time.
  • Protection Against Unsafe Attachments: Using Safe Attachments, Office 365 ATP protects against unsafe attachments and provides you with a malware-free, cleaner inbox.
  • Visibility into Potential Targets: Office 365 ATP lets you see who might be targeted in your organization, and what kinds of attacks you might be facing.
  • Unsafe Link Blocking: Office 365 ATP blocks users from clicking on unsafe links. If a link they click on is unsafe, the user is either informed that the site’s been blocked, or warned not to visit it.
  • URL Trace Capabilities: Office 365 ATP provides URL trace capabilities that lets you track what individual has clicked malicious links in the messages they’ve received.
In short, Office365 ATP protects your mailboxes, online storage, files, and other applications against any new, sophisticated cyberattacks in real time.
