Microsoft 365 plays a critical role in providing data enrichment and incident response capabilities to XDR detections, especially in scenarios where a malicious threat has been detected on an endpoint.
Integration with Microsoft Entra ID adds metadata enrichment metadata enrichment to XDR incidents by providing details of the authenticated user affected by the incident. This helps improve overall security incident visibility, and reduces the time security teams need to investigate and respond to threats.
Integration with Microsoft Entra ID allows organizations to leverage Microsoft Entra ID's API within Acronis Advanced Security + XDR to initiate quick remediation actions, such as blocking or limiting access for user accounts authenticated on compromised devices. This ensures that these users have no access to sensitive data and IT resources.
This integration provides significant advantages, especially in identifying the origin of malicious files. By consolidating data from email, cloud storage, and collaboration tools, it enables a unified view of potential threats. This capability helps pinpoint the exact source and propagation path of a malicious file, streamlining incident response. Additionally, it enhances threat visibility, reduces investigation times, and strengthens the overall security posture by leveraging automated insights and cross-environment correlation.
