Blumira has launched a new Microsoft 365 threat response feature that allows IT teams to lock out compromised users and revoke active sessions instantly. Response time is critical when dealing with cybersecurity breaches. The speed at which an organization identifies, responds to, and mitigates a cybersecurity incident can directly determine the severity of damage, financial loss, legal liability, and harm to reputation. The update addresses events such as impossible travel logins, risky sign-ins, suspicious mailbox activity, and hidden privilege escalations.
Improving Cybersecurity Response Times and Efficiency
“Security teams often face critical delays in threat containment, needing to switch between multiple applications to act on suspicious activity,” said Michael Kellar, Blumira’s Vice President of Product. “Our Microsoft 365 threat response feature empowers organizations to contain threats quicker and more efficiently directly within our security platform.”
Direct Integration with Microsoft Environments
The tool integrates with Microsoft 365, Azure, and Entra environments. IT departments can disable user access directly from the Blumira platform. There is no need to switch between tools during incidents. It also delivers actionable alerts and reduces reliance on manual responses.
Improving Response Times and Efficiency
“When a user is compromised, every second counts,” said Matt Timm, Network Operations Center Team Lead at TR Computer Sales. “It brings peace of mind to us and to our clients that Blumira’s M365 Response can lock bad actors out in seconds, stopping them quicker than ever before.”
The new feature is now included in Blumira’s SIEM+, XDR, and other eligible threat response plans. Organizations can access the feature through Blumira’s website.
