Respond to threats in near real-time with custom detections
Introduction
In the ever-evolving cyber security landscape, organizations need to move quickly to respond to threats. Microsoft 365 Defender is a cloud-native security platform that helps protect organizations from threats, including malicious activities from outside and inside the organization. It offers a set of capabilities that enables organizations to protect, detect, and respond to threats.
Microsoft 365 Defender provides a range of threat response capabilities to help organizations respond to threats quickly and effectively. One of these capabilities is the ability to create custom detections for near real-time response. This capability allows organizations to create their own detections to identify suspicious activity, allowing for faster response times and more effective threat response.
What is custom detection?
Custom detection is a feature available in Microsoft 365 Defender that allows organizations to create their own detections to identify suspicious activities. This feature allows organizations to respond to threats in near real-time by creating custom detections that are tailored to the organization’s specific needs.
Organizations can create custom detections using the Microsoft Graph Security API, which is a set of APIs that allow organizations to access threat data from across their environment. This data can then be used to create custom detections that are tailored to the organization’s specific needs. These custom detections can be used to identify suspicious activities and respond to them in near real-time.
Benefits of custom detection
Custom detection in Microsoft 365 Defender provides organizations with the ability to quickly identify and respond to threats. By creating custom detections, organizations can respond to threats in near real-time, before they can cause significant damage. This helps organizations to mitigate the impact of threats and reduce the amount of time spent responding to them.
Custom detections also enable organizations to be more proactive in their threat response. With custom detections, organizations can identify suspicious activities before they can cause significant damage. This allows organizations to take the necessary steps to mitigate the threat before it can cause any damage.
Custom detections also provide organizations with a more detailed view of their environment. With custom detections, organizations can gain greater visibility into their environment, allowing them to better identify and respond to threats.
Conclusion
Custom detections in Microsoft 365 Defender provide organizations with the ability to quickly identify and respond to threats in near real-time. This capability allows organizations to be more proactive in their threat response, as well as gain greater visibility into their environment. Custom detections provide organizations with an effective way to respond to threats and reduce the impact of threats on their organization.
