Security becomes a major focus for organisations at one of two times; either before, or after a breach occurs. Reactive approaches have cost Australian businesses billions of dollars in reputation management, forensic analysis and belated deployment of security protocols. Mantel Group’s Microsoft Security Accelerator helps you take a proactive approach to your security posture.

The modern Microsoft security suite addresses many security concerns of today’s organisations, including data loss prevention, application control, end-point detection and response, automated remediation of security concerns, and deployment and configuration of security configurations to end-point devices.

Mantel Group’s Microsoft Security Accelerator works alongside your IT and security teams to implement base controls using Microsoft’s XDR security suite, to implement Essential 8 controls and guidelines, or other security frameworks applicable to your industry. Mantel Group will uplift the internal teams, providing education and collateral to ensure your security posture grows faster than the threat landscape can evolve.

• Un-trusted end-points: Everyone has a work-from-home policy today, and workforces are empowered to access business information on a plethora of devices. It’s crucial to understand, secure, and integrate these devices into your security strategy for maximum productivity and security.
• Limited visibility: Organisations that have some controls deployed may suffer from limited visibility of the ongoing security posture of those devices. Oftentimes, several different tools are in play, reporting data back to separate portals or teams, therefore limiting the option for holistic security posture views.
• Poor access controls: Are all access points monitored? Do your controls cater for impossible travel, or risk-based profiles during sign-in? Does everyone use two-factor authentication at a minimum? Organisations typically have basic controls on tools like Conditional Access, creating exploitable vulnerabilities.
