Microsoft Funded Workshop for Threat Protection envisioning Workshop

Security and Threat Protection Envisioning Workshop Highlights:

1. Overview of Microsoft Security Solutions of: Microsoft Defender Suite: Protection for endpoints (Defender for Endpoint), identity (Defender for Identity), Office apps, and more. Microsoft Sentinel: SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) for end-to-end threat detection, investigation, and response. Zero Trust Framework: Discusses key principles (Identity, Devices, Apps, Data, and Infrastructure) to protect your organization. Microsoft Purview for Data Loss Prevention and security policy enforcement.

2. Threat Protection Strategy: Tailored threat protection strategies, including prevention, detection, response, and remediation. Integrating threat protection seamlessly into business operations. Use of Security Operations Centers (SOC) and automated threat response to help reduce manual workload.

3. Customized Threat Protection Architecture: Assessment of current security posture (vulnerabilities, threat intelligence, etc.). Recommendations to improve defenses based on Microsoft 365 Security solutions. Integration of Security Monitoring & Incident Response (IR) tools.

4. Modern Threat Detection: Real-time threat intelligence and behavioral analytics powered by Azure Sentinel. Detecting advanced threats like ransomware, insider threats, and phishing with Defender for Office 365. Implementing automated playbooks for threat remediation (like quarantining infected devices).

5. Incident Response and Automation: Use of Microsoft Sentinel playbooks to automate common incident response tasks. Real-time alerts and response measures. Analyzing security incidents with the integration of Microsoft Sentinel and Power BI for actionable insights.

6. Advanced Threat Protection: Protecting hybrid infrastructures (cloud + on-prem) with tools like Microsoft Defender for Identity. Continuous vulnerability assessments using Defender for Cloud and Azure Security Center. Protection across endpoints (PCs, servers, mobile) with Defender Antivirus and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR).

7. Data Protection and Compliance: Enforcing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies using Microsoft Purview. Demonstrating compliance features like Microsoft Compliance Manager to meet regulatory standards. Integrating Azure Information Protection (AIP) to safeguard data classification.

8. Identity and Access Management: Implementing Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for identity and access security. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and Conditional Access policies for securing user and device access.

9. Collaboration and Communication Security: Protecting collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and Exchange Online. Advanced security for cloud-based apps, especially against external threats and phishing attempts.

10. Continuous Improvement and Threat Intelligence: Leveraging Microsoft's Threat Intelligence feed to stay ahead of emerging threats. Leveraging security analytics to optimize threat detection and response.
