53 “Email is the entry point for up to 90 per cent of cyberattacks. As such, it makes sense to have a layered email security system in place to further detect today’s sophisticated threats. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 offers a good foundation to protect against malware attacks. To protect from complex credential theft and business email compromise threats that are difficult to detect, Cofense has found that a combination of technology – including artificial intelligence that detects malicious emails and is trained on big data coming from a large human-based sensor network constantly identifying phishing emails – is the key to real-time phishing protection and remediation.” “Darktrace is enabling Microsoft customers to uplift their cybersecurity with self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) that learns on the job to understand how an organisation operates, and autonomously responds to emerging threats to minimise cyber disruption. We were nominated to MISA for seamlessly integrating our technology into a number of Microsoft cloud and software-as-a-service environments – including the full Microsoft 365 product suite, and Microsoft Sentinel. We were also named Microsoft’s Security Trailblazer at the annual Microsoft 20/20 awards in May 2021. Wherever Microsoft runs, Darktrace protects – and together, we are empowering and augmenting human security teams with self-learning AI.” “The Center for Internet Security (CIS) leads a global volunteer community of cybersecurity experts – including Microsoft Azure security professionals – to develop, refine and contribute to the secure configuration guidelines of the CIS Benchmarks. These recommendations provide step-bystep guidance to help Microsoft customers securely configure their systems. To take the CIS Benchmarks a step further, CIS maps each security recommendation to the CIS Critical Security Controls. This prioritised set of actions protects your enterprise and data against cyberattacks. In fact, the CIS Community Defense Model has verified that the CIS Controls are effective at defending against 86 per cent of the sub-techniques found in the MITRE ATT&CK framework.” Mia LaVada Product Owner of CIS Benchmarks and Cloud, CIS Rich Keith Senior Product Marketing Manager, Cofense Tony Jarvis Director of Enterprise Security, Asia Pacific and Japan, Darktrace
