Cybersecurity
With the headlines of the last two years, it wouldn’t be a Microsoft event if the company didn’t detail new innovations in the way of security, and the company announced several new products and features designed to help organizations of any size secure their IT environment.
One of the most notable security announcements included Microsoft Defender for Business, available in public preview later this month, designed to bring the enterprise-grade endpoint security of Microsoft Defender to small and medium businesses with fewer than 300 employees.
The company also announced that it is adding new features to Microsoft Sentinel, including integrations with Microsoft Azure Synapse to help identify previously unknown threats and leverage big data analytics.
For cloud app security, Microsoft announced a new application governance capability in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. This provides security and policy management to help identify, alert and protect against risky behavior across data, users and apps. The tool is also extended to include security for more than 26,000 cloud apps covering all major cloud app use cases, the company says.
Other security tools include a Microsoft Defender for IoT integration with Microsoft 365 Defender, to bring IoT protection into the same workflow as the rest of an organization’s security solutions. The tool can now discover and secure enterprise IoT devices, the company says.
Microsoft is also integrating Defender for Cloud with Azure Purview, expanding Endpoint Manager to include Linux desktops, and making conditional access policies in Azure AD more granular.
These are just some of Microsoft’s cybersecurity announcements coming from Ignite, so read this blog for more.
