Microsoft Intune protects organization data on both personal and corporate mobile devices using MDM / MAM policies.

Intune can also be used to rapidly deploy Windows 10, including drivers, applications, custom configurations, and active directory domain join the device using a feature called Windows AutoPilot Self-Deploying mode.

Conditional Access with Intune allows you to only challenge for MFA sign-ins if the account is breached or outside of your allowed parameters.

99% of identity breaches can be blocked with MFA.

MFA is the number one way to protect a user’s identity.

Key focus areas for Ransomware Protection with Microsoft 365 1) Microsoft Intune and Conditional Access for MFA Modern cybersecurity involves a defense-in-depth process that looks like the following diagram when you standardize on the Microsoft 365 platform: The hard truth is that a firewall with IDS/IPS and antivirus on your desktops can’t stop modern attacks.

Investing too much: Too many security vendors that don’t integrate with each other, which creates too much complexity to manage quickly and efficiently.

Whether it’s fear of change, cost concerns, or something else.

Investing too little: A reluctance to invest in modernizing their IT systems.

What we typically see is one of two scenarios in most organizations which lead to being exposed to ransomware attacks: Excluding Symantec and McAfee (with their 10,000+ person sales teams), companies like Arctic Wolf, Darktrace, Carbon Black (just acquired by VMware), and many other security firms have fewer than 1,000 total employees with less than $1 billion in revenue.

To put that in perspective, a managed SOC like Arctic Wolf processes “only” 20 billion signals a month. Microsoft uses AI models and machine learning to process 6.5 trillion daily signals with a team of 3,500+ full-time security engineers that invest $1 billion annually in R&D.

Protecting modern IT systems from ransomware is fairly simple now with Microsoft 365.
