Key Features and Benefits

Enable Visibility Across the Entire Attack Surface

Arctic Wolf actively monitors your Microsoft infrastructure and solutions 24×7, and correlates events and telemetry from the rest of your environment to quickly detect, respond to, and remediate modern cyber threats. Our vendor-agnostic approach enables broad visibility and works seamlessly with customers’ existing technology stacks, making it easy to adopt while eliminating blind spots and preventing vendor lock-in.

Ransomware-as-a-Service and Data Exfiltration Ecosystem Will Continue to Evolve

Many threat actors within the ecosystem rely on specialized services and offerings to conduct intrusions and we expect those offerings to expand and evolve in 2024 to bypass security controls.

Arctic Wolf Recommends:

Create a baseline of expected network flow and user behavior to detect potential data exfiltration activity. In most cases, threat actors compile the stolen data and attempt to exfiltrate it out of the network as quickly as possible, which would deviate from normal user behavior.

Accelerate and Streamline Transition

Reduce Cyber Risk with Integrated Security Solutions for Microsoft

By combining IT and security solutions within enterprise licenses, Microsoft offers organizations the chance to consolidate both their IT and security technology stacks by integrating endpoint, identity, and email products.

Vendor consolidation with companies like Microsoft has many benefits. While integration is a great step, no single vendor can possibly cover the complex digital attack surface of the enterprise. Organizations need comprehensive security across their entire digital attack surface, powered by Microsoft and other vendors.

The Arctic Wolf® Security Operations Cloud and vendor-neutral approach provides the broad visibility customers need. The tight integrations give Arctic Wolf the ability to monitor customers’ Microsoft and security tools in one spot, enabling correlation between suspicious activities from multiple telemetry sources. Arctic Wolf also monitors organizations’ critical IT infrastructure (including identity, cloud, and network infrastructure) and SaaS solutions to proactively detect and respond to threats. This holistic approach delivers quicker and more accurate detection of threats, and faster time to remediation.
