1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,620
Microsoft Defender for Identity.

2
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:07,720
Well, this is another member of the Microsoft Defender Cloud suite.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,910
The previous name, at least the most recent previous name,

4
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:14,840
was Azure Advanced Threat Protection, or ATP.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,240
And the way I want you to think about MDI as it's called,

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,540
is that this is a cloud‑based security solution that you can light up to

7
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:26,140
monitor your local Active Directory infrastructure,

8
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:30,310
and then again, taking advantage of the Microsoft AI backend,

9
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:33,740
the intelligence security graph, the ISG,

10
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:38,400
the service can report on user and entity behavior throughout your domain,

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,820
can protect your Active Directory credentials,

12
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:46,930
passwords, group membership changes, and most importantly,

13
00:00:46,930 --> 00:00:50,070
because it's always running in the background and always

14
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:54,440
examining access and traffic in your domain,

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,380
it can proactively identify, alert,

16
00:00:57,380 --> 00:01:01,540
and initiate investigations of that anomalous behavior.

17
00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:05,300
I think this is such a great value because I'm old enough in the

18
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:09,260
industry to remember when we domain administrators largely had to

19
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:12,140
handle the security monitoring manually,

20
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:17,000
and as human beings, we have to sleep a certain portion of every 24‑hour period,

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
a service like MDI never sleeps. Alright, time for a demo.
