Hunt Down Threats with Microsoft Threat Experts

Download Sample M365 Risk Assessment
March 11, 2022

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint keeps getting better with the latest introduction of Microsoft Threat Experts. Microsoft Threat Experts is a managed threat hunting service that offers SOC monitoring and analysis to make sure critical threats do not missed! 


Microsoft Threat Experts is built around two key capabilities: 

  • Targeted attack notifications
  • Access to experts on demand


Targeted attack notifications


Targeted attack notifications give SOC teams proactive hunting for the greatest threats on your network. This includes rouge actor intrusions, hands-on-keyboard based attacks, and more advanced attacks. Artificial intelligence backed hunting can help reduce the time bad actors are on the network and minimize the risk to the business. Further, by leveraging AI, threat hunting is able to discover and prioritize known and unknown attacks so SOC teams can respond as quickly as possible.


Access to experts on demand


The second added benefit of Microsoft Threat Experts is access to security experts directly from Microsoft 365 Defender.  Customers can engage with this team to get insights and better understand the threats affecting the organization. They can assist with alert inquiries to helping trace root cause of suspicious network activity.
