Vectra offers a free of charge security assessment for your cloud tenant
SINGAPORE, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Vectra AI, a leader in AI-driven threat detection and response for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, today announced the launch of Vectra Protect, a posture management tool designed to discover and mitigate security risks in Microsoft 365 (M365). Vectra Protect combines 50,000+ hours of expert research and development with automation to analyze an organization’s M365 security posture and provide customized implementation plans to remediate risk. To ensure all organizations, regardless of security staffing or resources, can have access to the solution, Vectra is extending a free sign-up for an Azure Active Directory scan until September 30, 2022.
With the accelerated use of M365 collaboration tools, which now have over 270 million users, cyber attackers are actively targeting access management tools like Azure AD to enter other SaaS tools and enterprise network assets. They then establish a foothold to launch ransomware attacks, steal intellectual property and gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data.
David Sajoto, Vice President, Asia-Pacific, and Japan (APJ) at Vectra comments, “Events of the past two years have accelerated adoption of public clouds, because no company wanted to deal with the physical realm. This resulted in more emphasis on adopting SaaS applications and moving from on-prem Exchange servers to M365 became a ‘gold standard’. Essentially, businesses had their stationary defenses set up around their fortress, and then moved everything out of that fortress which created new risks.”
With its scanning engine, Vectra Protect combines insights from the M365 Graph API with PowerShell module data to provide a truly holistic view into the integrity of every identity in an organization’s M365 environment. As the only scan designed to uncover identity security issues in M365, Vectra Protect provides organizations with:
“Azure AD has become a large attack vector as cybercriminals look to exploit the lack of security controls and solutions currently available for the tool,” said Aaron Turner, CTO of SaaS Protect at Vectra AI. “Organizations must understand that Microsoft’s default security settings are not specifically tailored to their business operations or industry, which introduces waves of unnecessary risk. Combining this with the constant changes in M365, both internally and externally, leaves a host of potential vulnerabilities and configuration issues that organizations are responsible for correcting. Vectra Protect helps unravel this complexity to deliver the visibility and assurance organizations need to protect these essential business tools.”
The free Vectra Protect for Azure AD scan, a value up to $50,000, will be readily available to any M365 customer operating in any M365 environment*. The scan focuses on a common foothold for unauthorized access and risk: access management in the active directory. Turner will be showcasing the technology and enumerating how to protect the M365 tenant and hunt for threats during RSAC 2022 in San Francisco, CA. You can register for his session here.
