How Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) offers cyberthreats solutions in an organization

What is Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics?  

Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics is a security solution designed to protect your organization from sophisticated or advanced cyber threats. By automatically analyzing and learning user, device, and resource behavior, it provides automated real-time insight into your organization’s network’s security status. This enables you to respond swiftly and effectively to potential threats, ensuring comprehensive yet effective protection for your organization.  

How does Advanced Threat Analytics work?  

Advanced Threat Analytics works to safeguard your business against sophisticated attacks by automatically observing, analyzing and discerning the normal and abnormal behaviors of users, devices, and resources through machine learning and behavioral analysis techniques.   

Features in Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA)  

Advanced Threat Analytics offers a range of features, such as…  

1. Detecting irregular user behavior and assigning risk scores.   

This insight helps identify users who may be vulnerable to attacks and informs them or the administrator of the necessary preventive measures. ATA utilizes detection technology to analyze data from multiple sources and identify suspicious activities.  

Also, with the concept of risk scoring, technology assigns a numerical value to each user based on their behavior and activities. This score reflects the user’s level of risk. Then ATA uses several methods for detecting abnormal or malicious behavior, such as machine learning algorithms, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence.   

2. Identifying suspicious activities.  

These activities are linked to devices and resources, associating these with specific users. This capability allows an organization to determine which devices might be compromised by malware and which users are affected. Microsoft continuously improves Advanced Threat Analytics to evolve with the detection of emerging threats.
