Microsoft Defender for Identity.
Protect your dental practice against identity-based cyber threats.
HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT?
What is Microsoft Defender for Identity?
Microsoft Defender for Identity provides a comprehensive solution to detect, investigate, and respond to identity-based attacks within hybrid environments. By using advanced analytics and machine learning, it helps organisations detect
anomalies, identify threats, and enforce zero-trust principles to safeguard sensitive information.
As dental practices increasingly rely on digital systems for patient records, appointment scheduling, and financial transactions, securing user identities and access is critical. Microsoft Defender for Identity provides real-time
protection against identity-related cyber threats, ensuring that only authorised personnel can access your practice’s sensitive data.
KEY FEATURES OF DEFENDER FOR ENDPOINT.

Continuous Monitoring of User Activities
Monitor staff logins, access patterns, and unusual activities in real time. Defender for Identity detects suspicious behaviour, such as repeated failed login attempts or access from unusual locations, helping prevent unauthorised access to patient records and practice management systems.
Advanced Threat Detection with Machine Learning
Using AI-driven analytics, Defender for Identity detects behavioural anomalies that could indicate insider threats, compromised credentials, or external attacks. By comparing current user behaviour against established baselines, it identifies risks before they escalate.
