Microsoft Announced New “Microsoft Security Experts” Service and Defender for Business for SMBs – Microsoft

May 23, 2022 | CEE Multi-Country News Center

Threats have grown at an alarming rate over the last year, and cybercrime is now expected to cost the world USD 10.5 trillion annually by 2025, up from USD 3 trillion a decade ago and USD 6 trillion in 2021.
As attacks increase in scale, so must our defenses. Last year, Microsoft Security blocked over 9.6 billion malware threats and more than 35.7 billion phishing and other malicious emails. Microsoft Security is actively tracking more than 35 ransomware families and 250 unique threat actors across observed nation-state, ransomware, and criminal activities, and Microsoft’s technology blocks more than 900 brute force password theft attempts every second.
 But technology alone is not enough to defend against cybercrime. Technology is critical, but it’s the combination of leading technologies, comprehensive threat intelligence, and highly skilled people that makes for a truly effective security posture.  For example, the U.S. workforce is experiencing a security talent shortage with 1 in 3 security roles left unfilled. That’s why companies are seeking managed security services to fully run their security systems or support their in-house defense.
Microsoft sees this demand and with its partner ecosystem, wide range of signals, tech innovation and world class security talent, is uniquely positioned to meet it.

That’s why Microsoft is expanding its existing service capabilities under a new service category called Microsoft Security Experts. Security Experts combines expert-trained technology with human-led services to help organizations achieve more secure, compliant, and productive outcomes.
The company’s vision is to deliver this new category of services across security, compliance, identity, management, and privacy. With input from Microsoft experienced partner ecosystem, the corporation designed three new managed services that can help scale the client’s teams of experts to fit needs—without the challenges of hiring and training them.
With Microsoft Defender for Business, SMBs get multi-layered protection, detection, and response to protect and remediate against known and unknown threats.
