The threat landscape is more sophisticated than ever and damages have soared— Building on our vision to provide unmatched, actionable threat intelligence, we’re thrilled to announce two new security products that provide deeper context into threat actor activity and help organizations lock down their infrastructure and reduce their overall attack surface: These new threat intelligence offerings expand our growing security portfolio, offer deeper insights into threat actors and their behaviors, and help security teams accelerate the identification and prioritization of risks. Keep reading for more detail on these solutions, as well as the new detection and response capabilities for SAP from Microsoft Sentinel. Plus, find out where you can see a live product demo of all of our threat intelligence products at Black Hat. Today, any device connected to the internet is susceptible to vulnerabilities. Understanding the gaps that can lead to vulnerabilities is key to building resilience. Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence maps the internet every day, providing security teams with the necessary information to understand adversaries and their attack techniques. Customers can access a library of raw threat intelligence detailing adversaries by name, correlating their tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs), and can see active updates within the portal as new information is distilled from Microsoft’s security signals and experts. Defender Threat Intelligence lifts the veil on the attacker and threat family behavior and helps security teams find, remove, and block hidden adversary tools within their organization. This depth of threat intelligence is created from the security research teams formerly at RiskIQ with Microsoft’s nation-state tracking team, Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC), and the Microsoft 365 Defender security research teams. The volume, scale, and depth of intelligence is designed to empower security operations centers (SOCs) to understand the specific threats their organization faces and to harden their security posture accordingly. This intelligence also enhances the detection capabilities of Microsoft Sentinel and the family of Microsoft Defender products. Microsoft recognizes the importance of working together as a security community to help protect the digital world from threats. As such, the existing free edition will continue to be available. And as we look ahead, we’re excited to continue our journey of innovation and integration. Look for more news later this year on the expanding capabilities of our portfolio. Organizations need to see their business the way an attacker can so they can eliminate gaps and strengthen their security posture to help reduce the potential for attack. Many businesses have internet-facing assets they may not be aware of or have simply forgotten about. These are often created by shadow IT, mergers, and acquisitions, incomplete cataloging, business partners’ exposure, or simply rapid business growth. Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management scans the internet and its connections every day. This builds a complete catalog of a customer’s environment, discovering internet-facing resources— In the spirit of continuous innovation and bringing as much of the environment under secure management as possible, we are proud to announce the new Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP. Security teams can now monitor, detect, and respond to SAP alerts, such as privilege escalation and suspicious downloads, all from our cloud-native SIEM. Business-specific risks can be unique and complicated. With the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP, customers can build custom detections for the threats they face and reduce the risk of catastrophic interruption.
