Prevent repeat attacks with threat-informed security posture recommendations
As your organization continues to face the risk of cyber-attacks, your security operations (SecOps) team needs ever more innovative solutions to identify and block constantly changing virus signatures.
This involves empowering your SecOps teams with technology to assess threats and vulnerabilities and provide a plan-of-action. A posture management strategy includes not only industry standards and best practices, but also the unique circumstances of the organization including recent attacks and what vulnerabilities enabled the attackers.
This article explains how Microsoft 365 Defender's new threat-informed posture recommendations give SecOps teams the ability to detect and manage threats more effectively.

What are threat-informed security posture recommendations?
Threat-informed security posture recommendations are strategies that help organizations enhance their security measures based on recent attack analyses. By investigating past incidents, security analysts can identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that were exploited. Microsoft 365 Defender provides these recommendations by mapping attack techniques to relevant security controls in Microsoft Secure Score, allowing organizations to prioritize actions that can prevent similar attacks in the future.
How does Microsoft 365 Defender assist in improving security posture?
Microsoft 365 Defender assists security operations teams by providing a comprehensive view of incidents and mapping the techniques used by attackers to specific vulnerabilities. The platform offers prioritized recommendations through the 'Exposures and mitigations' tab, enabling teams to focus on the most critical security controls. This approach helps organizations address the root causes of attacks and continuously improve their security settings.
How can organizations start using threat-informed posture recommendations?
Organizations can start using threat-informed security posture recommendations by enabling the preview feature in Microsoft 365 Defender. They should navigate to the Threat analytics section to view the severity of misconfigurations and recommended actions based on recent threats. This allows teams to focus on improving resilience against specific emerging threats and implement necessary security controls effectively.
