Our Impact
MDI implemented
Real-time detection of identity-based attacks such as Pass-the-Hash and Lateral Movement
Significantly reduced
Systematic hardening of the Azure tenant and M365 through Security Baselines and Conditional Access
Monitoring-capable
Optimized alert quality and event basis for continuous monitoring and Incident Response
The Challenge
Our client wanted to sustainably improve the security posture in the Microsoft ecosystem while concurrently establishing the foundation for stronger monitoring and faster response to security incidents.
The Solution
Introduction of Microsoft Defender for Identity (MDI) to detect identity-based attacks (e.g., Pass-the-Hash, lateral movement, suspicious AD activities). Hardening of the Azure tenant including Microsoft 365: Overhaul of security-relevant baseline settings, reduction of risk configurations, and closing of typical attack surfaces in cloud and collaboration services. SOC-oriented alignment: Optimization of alert quality and event basis so that security-relevant signals can be specifically evaluated and transferred to monitoring processes.
The implemented measures led to significantly increased transparency regarding identity and directory service risks. The attack surface in the Azure and Microsoft 365 environment was significantly reduced. At the same time, a solid foundation was created for continuous monitoring and a fast, structured Incident Response in a SOC context.
