  1. MICROSOFT DEFENDER FOR IDENTITY: ARCHITECTURE, CAPABILITIES, AND REAL-WORLD USE CASES www.hexacorp.com

  2. ABOUT MICROSOFT DEFENDER Unified Security Platform AI Powered Threat Detection Microsoft Defender is part of the Microsoft 365 Defender suite. Uses behavioral analytics, threat intelligence, and automation. Provides integrated protection across identities, endpoints, apps, and cloud Enables proactive detection and rapid response across attack surfaces.

  3. DEFENDER FOR IDENTITY VS DEFENDER FOR ENDPOINT Defender for Identity Defender for Endpoint Focus: Device and endpoint protection. Detects: Malware, exploits, device vulnerabilities. Ideal for: Securing laptops, desktops, mobile devices. Focus: Identity infrastructure (Active Directory). Detects: Credential theft, lateral movement, insider threats. Ideal for: Hybrid environments with on-prem AD. Choosing the Right Layer Use both for layered security. Identity + Endpoint = Holistic threat protection.

  4. MICROSOFT DEFENDER FOR IDENTITY – ARCHITECTURE, CAPABILITIES & USE CASES Key Capabilities Use Cases Architecture Detects identity-based threats: lateral movement, reconnaissance, credential theft. Provides real-time alerts and investigation timelines. Spotting brute-force attacks and privilege escalations. Monitoring insider threats and compromised accounts. Enhancing SOC workflows with identity context. Cloud-based solution connected to on-prem AD via lightweight sensors. Integrates with Microsoft 365 Defender for unified threat visibility.

  5. FROM DETECTION TO DEFENSE – STRENGTHENING ENTERPRISE SECURITY Detection Defence Impact Automates response via Microsoft 365 Defender playbooks. Supports Zero Trust by securing identity infrastructure. Reduces dwell time. Improves SOC efficiency and incident resolution. Monitors user behavior and access patterns. Flags anomalies like Pass- the-Ticket and Golden Ticket attacks.
