Introduction of "Vectra Protect" helps companies to reduce security risks in Microsoft 365. Businesses can request a free security analysis for their cloud tenants.

Vectra AI, a leading provider of AI-powered threat detection and response for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, announces the launch of Vectra Protect. The posture management tool is designed to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities in Microsoft 365 (M365). Vectra Protect combines more than 50.000 hours of research and development with automation to analyze an organization's M365 security posture and create tailored implementation plans to remediate risks. To ensure that all companies - regardless of their staffing or individual resources - have access to this solution, Vectra is extending the free registration for an Azure Active Directory scan until September 30, 2022.

Free Azure Active Directory scan

With the growing use of M365 collaboration tools - now with over 270 million users - cyber attackers are actively targeting access management tools like Azure AD to penetrate other SaaS tools and corporate networks. From there, they launch ransomware attacks, steal intellectual property, and gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data. With its scanning engine, Vectra Protect combines insights from the M365 Graph API with data from PowerShell modules to provide a truly holistic view of the health of each identity in an organization's M365 environment. As the only scan to uncover identity security issues in M365, Vectra Protect offers the following benefits to businesses.

Vectra Protect for M365 offers

  • Fast, actionable insights into remedial action: With its multi-level methodology, the scan provides companies with actionable results within hours. Rather than burdening the security team with further alerts, the scan creates a comprehensive risk mitigation map that provides a path to implementation with clear guidance on risk and operational impact.
  • Tailored cloud support: Organizations gain visibility into vulnerability severity, significant changes in their configuration status, the operational impact of the required solution, and remediation steps aligned with their applicable industry standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Configuration Remediation and Compliance: Vectra Protect dives deep into M365 configuration complexities, revealing misconfigurations with clear context to guide organizations to full risk remediation and provide security teams with evidence that their policies are effective and compliant.
  • Confidence in Collaboration: By understanding the areas where risk and configuration issues persist, organizations can deliver on the promises of cloud technology without creating uncontrolled risk. Organizations can achieve efficiencies in implementing and using SaaS tools like M365 by eliminating default settings and aligning operations, information technology, security and audit teams on security priorities.
