Key Microsoft 365 Security Solutions

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
Azure Active Directory is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service that helps businesses secure user authentication and manage permissions across cloud and on-premises applications. With features like Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Conditional Access, Azure AD ensures that only authorised users can access critical resources, reducing the risk of identity-based attacks.

Microsoft Intune
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). It enables organisations to securely manage company devices, enforce compliance policies, and protect corporate data while allowing employees to work from personal devices using app protection policies. Intune integrates seamlessly with Azure AD and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, offering a holistic approach to endpoint security.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an advanced threat protection solution designed to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats across endpoints. Using AI-driven threat intelligence and behavioural analytics, it provides real-time monitoring, automated incident response, and attack surface reduction. It helps organisations proactively identify vulnerabilities and prevent cyber threats before they escalate.

Microsoft Information Protection
Microsoft Information Protection is a suite of tools that helps organisations classify, label, and protect sensitive information across cloud services, on-premises storage, and endpoints. Using policies based on regulatory requirements and business needs, MIP helps prevent data leakage, control file-sharing permissions, and ensure compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, and other standards.

Microsoft Defender For Office 365
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a security solution designed to protect organisations from phishing, malware, and zero-day attacks targeting emails, collaboration tools, and cloud applications. It provides real-time threat protection, email link scanning, attachment sandboxing, and automated investigation capabilities to mitigate threats before they impact business operations.
