Account takeover in Office 365 has become the largest security threat vector in the cloud

Applications on Cognito 

Account takeover in Office 365 has become the largest security threat vector in the cloud. The strategic approach allows the attacker to gain access to the data and privileges associated with the compromised account and then work their way laterally through the network.

Vectra offers four applications on the Cognito platform to address these high-priority use cases:

• Cognito Detect for Office 365 and Azure AD™ finds and stops attacks in enterprise SaaS applications and the Microsoft 365 Ecosystem. The application offers visibility into Power Automate, Teams, eDiscovery, Compliance Search, Azure AD backend, Exchange, SharePoint, third-party SaaS providers, and more.
• Cognito Detect™ provides the fastest most efficient way to prioritize and stop attacks across cloud, data center, applications, and workloads, as well as user & IoT devices and accounts.
• Cognito Stream™ sends security-enriched metadata to data lakes and SIEMs in Zeek format.
• Cognito Recall™ is a cloud-based application that stores and investigates threats in enriched metadata.

Cloud and data center detections

Cognito is also seamlessly integrated with Azure Sentinel to create custom workbooks for enhanced investigation Users of Vectra’s Cognito platform can combine cloud and data center detections with in-depth information from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for greater context and stop attacks at the endpoint. Cognito is also seamlessly integrated with Azure Sentinel to create custom workbooks for enhanced investigation, correlation, and automation.

“Vectra is focused on making things easier for its customers. Whether that requires helping security teams see and stop the most sophisticated cyberattacks at scale, or making it quick and easy to find, buy and deploy industry-leading threat detection and response technology,” said Randy Schirman, Vice President.

“For companies that rely on the global footprint, scalability, reliability, and agility of Microsoft Azure, we now offer a one-stop shopping experience via a pre-approved and preferred purchasing channel.”
