Capabilities of Microsoft Defender

Microsoft Defender combines security information management and security event management to provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware. It matches events against rules and analytics engines and indexes them for sub-second search to detect and analyze advanced threats using globally gathered intelligence. This gives security teams both insight into and a track record of the activities within their IT environment by providing data analysis, event correlation, aggregation, reporting, and log management. Microsoft Defender for business does the following:

  • Gathers logs, events, and security information from the various sources in your IT environment.
  • Normalizes the collected logs, events, and security information into a standard format.
  • Stores events in a file-based data storage or Hadoop-based scalable storage with flexible, customizable data retention policies.
