Guardz Account Security

Recognise and stop account takeovers in Microsoft 365, before an attacker gets any further.

What is Guardz account security?

More and more attacks start with a stolen password or a taken-over account. Guardz recognises suspicious sign-in attempts and unusual behaviour in your Microsoft 365 accounts, and shuts the attacker out.

This is also called ITDR: identity threat detection and response.

What it delivers

  • Account takeover spotted: for example signing in from a strange location or new forwarding rules.
  • Access cut off immediately: end sessions and block the account.
  • Control over the response: you or the SOC decide the next steps.

How Brandaris uses it

We combine account security with multi-factor authentication and good settings in Microsoft 365. Also read about setting up Microsoft Authenticator.

About Account Security

What is Guardz Account Security?

Recognise and stop account takeovers in Microsoft 365, before an attacker gets any further.

How does an account get taken over?

Usually through a stolen password, a fake login page or a leaked password that was also used somewhere else. After that, the attacker often sends fake invoices from your mailbox.

Is multi-factor authentication not enough then?

MFA helps enormously, but attackers increasingly bypass it. Account security sees what happens after signing in, such as strange forwarding rules.

What happens with a suspicious sign-in?

The session is ended and the account blocked. Then we look together at what happened.

Can Brandaris set up and manage Guardz Account Security for us?

Yes. We first look at what is already there and what you need. Then we help with implementation, setup and follow-up, or take over the management. We make clear up front what it costs.

Does Account Security suit your organisation

We first look at what is already there, and tell you honestly what you need.
