Inforcer, known for its Microsoft 365 multi-tenant management solutions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), has introduced its new Threat Detection and Response tool. This advancement is designed to aid MSPs in swiftly identifying threats, containing breaches, and preventing repeat attacks, addressing both pre-attack and post-attack security challenges.
Having established a significant presence in pre-attack tenant security over the past three years, supporting over 1,200 MSP partners in securing Microsoft 365 tenants, Inforcer is now extending its focus to post-attack scenarios. During Pax8 Beyond in Salt Lake City from June 7-9, Inforcer presented its new Threat Detection and Response product, enhancing its comprehensive platform for managing and securing Microsoft 365 and Copilot environments at scale for MSPs.
Management Control Plane
Inforcer’s solutions are designed to minimize attack impacts before they occur through a multi-tenant Microsoft 365 management control plane. This system also empowers clients to manage attacks in real-time, with detection, incident management, and automated response capabilities.
Typically, once a cybercriminal breaches the perimeter, they may remain undetected for extended periods
As customer expectations for MSPs to provide attack protection rise, challenges also increase due to the surge in remote work and AI technology, which make global attacks more feasible. Typically, once a cybercriminal breaches the perimeter, they may remain undetected for extended periods, strategizing to heighten their access for more substantial attacks.
Additional Revenue Opportunity
While preemptive security measures are crucial, MSPs often struggle to highlight the tangible benefits of these approaches to their clients. Even the savviest security-conscious MSPs depend on threat detection and response tools. To successfully acquire and retain business, MSPs must clearly demonstrate how they thwart and mitigate attacks — a feat achievable by integrating pre-attack and post-attack technologies.
By advancing into post-attack security management, Inforcer aids MSPs in completing the security narrative, offering the visible evidence customers require to appreciate the importance of pre-attack tenant management. Inforcer’s integrated security platform allows MSPs to effectively detect and respond to breaches while highlighting the potential and severity of each threat, thereby reinforcing the value of preventative measures, which MSPs can ultimately turn into a lucrative revenue stream.
Reducing False Positives
Inforcer initially focused on multi-tenant management solutions, thus already possessing unique insights across Microsoft's applications. Unlike other identity threat detection and response tools that mainly target identity threats, Inforcer’s Threat Detection and Response constantly assesses signals from every layer of Microsoft 365, including Entra, Defender, Purview, Teams, and SharePoint. This comprehensive monitoring grants MSPs a thorough understanding of actions, reducing false alerts.
“At Inforcer, we’re developing the complete security platform MSPs can use for the long-term,” stated Jamie Daum, CEO at Inforcer. "We’re continually innovating and expanding so that MSPs can innovate and expand alongside us. With Threat Detection and Response, Inforcer now serves as a centralized platform for multi-tenant Microsoft 365 management throughout the entire security lifecycle, encompassing both pre-attack and post-attack phases."
inforcer, a provider of Microsoft 365 multi-tenant management software for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), has announced the release of its new Threat Detection and Response solution to help MSPs rapidly identify threats, contain breaches, and prevent recurrence of attacks, unifying left of boom and right of boom security.
Having spent the last three years becoming the dominant player in left of boom tenant security, helping more than 1,200 MSP partners to secure and manage Microsoft 365 tenants at scale, inforcer is now branching into right of boom security. At Pax8 Beyond in Salt Lake City, held on 7-9 June, the company unveiled its new product: inforcer Threat Detection and Response. This latest release contributes to inforcer’s offering as the complete platform to manage and secure Microsoft 365 and Copilot for MSPs at scale.
Management control plane
The company’s solutions are designed to prevent and lessen the impact of attacks left of boom through a multi-tenant Microsoft 365 management control plane, while also enabling clients to rapidly and effectively manage attacks right of boom with real-time detection, incident management, and automated response.
While customers expect MSPs to protect them from attacks by default, this is increasingly challenging. With widespread remote working and AI adoption, it is easier than ever for threat actors to launch attacks from anywhere in the world. Breaches are often invisible: once a malicious actor is inside the perimeter, they can lurk for months working to elevate their privileges before executing significant attacks.
Additional revenue stream
Left of boom preventative security measures are essential, but it is often difficult for MSPs to prove the value of preventative tenant management to their customers. Even the most security-forward and threat-conscious MSPs are still reliant on threat detection and response tools. To win clients and retain recurring revenue, MSPs need to visibly demonstrate how they are catching and preventing attacks – something that requires left and right of boom technologies to seamlessly work together.
inforcer’s expansion into right of boom security management helps MSPs complete the security story: providing the visible evidence customers need to understand why left of boom tenant management is necessary. With inforcer’s single end-to-end security platform, MSPs can detect and respond to breaches effectively, while also demonstrating the potential impact and severity of each threat. This makes it easier to reinforce the value of preventative tenant security measures, which MSPs can also execute with inforcer, and then sell as an additional revenue stream.
Minimizing false positives
inforcer started out as a multi-tenant management solution. As a result, the platform already has unique insight into the Microsoft tenant across all applications.
Unlike most identity threat detection and response solutions on the market, which focus solely on identity as the threat vector, inforcer Threat Detection and Response continuously monitors signals from every layer of Microsoft 365 including Entra, Defender, Purview, Teams, and SharePoint. Examining every data entry point provides MSPs with unparalleled insight into the full context of an action, minimizing false positives and alerts.
Complete security platform
“At inforcer, we’re building the complete security platform MSPs can use for the long-term,” said Jamie Daum, CEO at inforcer.
“We’re consistently innovating and expanding, so MSPs can innovate and expand alongside us. With Threat Detection and Response, inforcer is now the single, centralized platform for multi-tenant Microsoft 365 management across the entire security lifecycle, both left of boom and right of boom."
