Microsoft Defender for Identity

1. MICROSOFT DEFENDER FOR IDENTITY Protecting Identities with Intelligent Cloud Architecture www.hexacorp.com

2. Today’s Identity Threat Landscape Identities are now the #1 target in modern attacks Compromised credentials escalate small incidents into major breaches Remote access, hybrid systems, and unmanaged devices widen exposure Organizations need continuous identity protection, not periodic audits

3. LEGACY DETECTION VS INTELLIGENT PROTECTION TRADITIONAL MONITORING LIMITATIONS: Relies on manual checks Lags behind fast- moving intrusions Misses subtle credential misuse Provides limited visibility across hybrid directories MODERN IDENTITY PROTECTION STRENGTHS: Detects behavioral anomalies early Analyzes signals from endpoints, users, and directories Correlates suspicious events with context Automates actions to minimize impact

4. Identity Threat Patterns You Can’t Ignore A large share of breaches start with compromised credentials Attackers often dwell unnoticed for weeks Password spraying and privilege escalation attempts spike daily Early detection significantly reduces response time & financial impact

5. WHAT INTELLIGENT IDENTITY DEFENSE PROVIDES REAL-TIME SIGNAL MONITORING HYBRID DIRECTORY VISIBILITY AUTOMATED INVESTIGATION PATHS BEHAVIOR-BASED INTELLIGENCE Detects unusual sign- ins, lateral movement, and privilege misuse. Learns normal patterns and identifies deviations instantly. Tracks identities across on-prem AD + Azure AD. Surface attack steps to accelerate security response.

6. Attempts to access accounts from abnormal locations Identity- Centric Attack Scenarios Lateral movement using stolen credentials Privilege escalation in hybrid directory environments Suspicious authentication patterns or repeated login failures

7. 1. Protects Workforce Trust 2. Strengthens Cloud Maturity Ensures users interact in a secure digital Supports safe expansion of cloud applications. Ensures users interact in a secure digital environment. environment. Why Identity Protection Impacts More Than Security 3. Accelerates Compliance Readiness 4. Reduces Operational Disruption Prevents downtime caused by identity- Prevents downtime caused by identity- based attacks. based attacks. Provides detailed identity and activity reporting.

8. The Cost of Operating Without Modern Identity Monitoring DELAYED AWARENESS BLIND SPOTS ACROSS DEVICES Incidents go unnoticed until impact is severe. Identity misuse remains hidden across hybrid setups. OPERATIONAL INEFFICIENCIES HIGHER EXPOSURE TO CREDENTIAL THEFT Teams spend more time on manual investigation. Attackers exploit outdated detection methods.

9. Where Modern Cloud Identity Protection Is Evolving AI-driven anomaly detection across identity signals Stronger integration with SIEM, XDR, and endpoint tools Context-rich threat insights for faster analyst response More automation for identity containment and remediation

10. Every identity interaction counts. Microsoft Defender for Identity empowers organizations to detect attacks early, prevent unauthorized access, and operate with confidence. Protect your identities with expert-guided cloud security. www.hexacorp.com
