Zero Trust

FastTrack provides comprehensive guidance on implementing Zero Trust security principles. The Zero Trust model assumes breach and verifies each request as though it originates from an uncontrolled network. This approach ensures robust security across your networks, applications, and environment. FastTrack accomplishes this by focusing on identity, devices, applications, data, infrastructure, and networks. With FastTrack, you can confidently advance your Zero Trust security journey and protect your digital assets effectively.

With Microsoft Defender, you can implement Zero Trust principles by providing extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities. This includes automatically collecting, correlating, and analyzing signal, threat, and alert data from across your Microsoft 365 environment, including endpoints, email, applications, and identities. By integrating with Microsoft Sentinel, you can create a comprehensive XDR and security information and event management (SIEM) solution that enhances your organization's security posture.

Microsoft Defender XDR

Microsoft Defender XDR is a unified pre- and post-breach enterprise defense suite. Defender XDR natively coordinates detection, prevention, investigation, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and apps to provide integrated protection against sophisticated attacks.

FastTrack provides remote guidance for:

  • Providing an overview of the Microsoft Defender portal.
    • Providing an overview of cross-product incidents, including focusing on what's critical by ensuring the full attack scope, impacted assets, and automated remediation actions that are grouped together.
    • Demonstrating how Microsoft Defender XDR can orchestrate the investigation of assets, users, devices, and mailboxes that become compromised through automated self-healing.
    • Explaining and providing examples of how customers can proactively hunt for intrusion attempts and breach activity affecting your email, data, devices, and accounts across multiple data sets.
    • Showing customers how they can review and improve their security posture holistically using Microsoft Secure Score.
  • Provide education and configuration guidance on Unified Security Operations Platform
    • Connecting of a Sentinel Workspace
    • Review of the following capabilities within the Defender portal.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is a multi-purpose software-as-a-service (SaaS) security solution. It combines SaaS security posture management, data loss prevention, app-to-app protection, and integrated threat protection to ensure holistic coverage for your apps. By adopting a SaaS security approach, you can easily identify misconfigurations. This improves your overall app posture, implements policies to protect sensitive data, and protects app-to-app scenarios to ensure that only apps have the acceptable permissions to access other app data. When you natively integrate into Microsoft Defender XDR, organizations like yours benefit from using the signal from SaaS to actively hunt in their environments and combat incidents across their apps, devices, identities, and email.
