Cloud-Based Identity Attacks Require Cloud-Native Defense

Breach Prevention for M365

Your Microsoft 365 environment is a critical business platform — and a top target for attackers. Today’s threat actors bypass traditional endpoint defenses and exploit cloud identities to gain persistent access, exfiltrate data, and manipulate internal settings without detection.

According to Adlumin’s SOC, 44% of all detections now originate from the cloud. That’s nearly half of all threats escaping the legacy security tools that are focused solely on endpoints.1

Intelligent, Automated Breach Prevention Built for Microsoft 365

Breach Prevention for M365 ingests native Microsoft telemetry and applies machine learning to detect deviations from normal user and application behavior. When something looks off — a suspicious login, permission change, or inbox manipulation — the system reacts in real time.

Key Technical Capabilities:

  • Behavioral Baselines: Establishes per-user norms to detect anomalies and reduce false positives.
  • Cloud Telemetry Ingestion: Parses logs from Azure AD, Exchange, and Microsoft Graph for enriched threat context.
  • Automated Threat Containment: Suspicious accounts are disabled or forced to reset credentials automatically.
  • Detection Coverage: Includes MFA tampering, service principal misuse, lateral movement indicators, and email rule abuse.

Deployable without endpoint agents, our solution integrates directly with your Microsoft 365 instance — providing layered defense without operational complexity.
