Organisations are relying more on intelligent devices to optimise efficiency. In fact, experts predict CISOs will soon be responsible for securing an attack surface 3x larger than just a few years ago. These devices are often unmanaged, unpatched, misconfigured, and unmonitored – making them ripe to be exploited. Microsoft Defender for IoT is an agentless solution for unified asset discovery and security monitoring across all types of unmanaged devices across your IT/OT landscape. It can: -Discover IoT/OT devices -Manage IoT/OT vulnerabilities -Continuously monitor, detect and respond to threats -Increase operational efficiency -Unify IT/OT security and governance Defender for IoT offers agentless, IoT/OT-aware network detection and response (NDR) that is rapidly deployed and provides unified security across diverse IoT and industrial devices. It shares data seamlessly with Microsoft’s SIEM and XDR platforms—Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft 365 Defender—and interoperates with other SOC tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, and ServiceNow.

As organisations increasingly rely on intelligent devices to optimise efficiency, experts predict CISOs will soon be responsible for securing an attack surface three times larger than just a few years ago. These devices are often unmanaged, unpatched, misconfigured, and unmonitored, making them ideal access points for attackers looking to compromise organisations of all kinds. Microsoft Defender for IoT is an agentless solution for unified asset discovery and security monitoring across all types of unmanaged devices. Get continuous visibility into IoT/OT assets, vulnerabilities, and threats, integrated with Microsoft SIEM and XDR solutions to enable rapid detection and response across IT/OT networks.

When global lime and minerals producer Lhoist’s united its IT security and industrial automation teams with Microsoft Azure Defender for IoT, they saw powerful asset discovery, vulnerability management, and threat monitoring capabilities. As a result, they are building a safer, more resilient and more efficient operation. “OT and IT share the same goal of ensuring production availability, delivering for our customers, and maintaining the health and safety of our co-workers,” says Clément Herssens, CISO. Even Lhoist automation staff who weren’t focused on cybersecurity soon recognized the operational efficiency benefits from the wealth of monitoring information now available to them, now bringing major cost and time savings along with overall increase in ROI.

In an ever-changing threat landscape, most organisations are looking to understand their digital estate and modernise their IT security in response. Whilst this strengthens your security posture and reduces risk, IT security is still just one piece of the puzzle. The world of Operational Technology (OT) is often managed separately. Without integration and visibility across the entire estate, organisations are opening themselves up to increased vulnerabilities that can be exploited. In this webinar, we will discuss how organisations can be confident in their OT security. Join us to discover how IT and OT security can integrate to discover, secure, protect, detect and manage threats. #Artbees

Technology can help encourage people with underlying psychological problems to seek professional help. A RAND study found that during the height of the COVID-19 outbreak telemedicine use increased more frequently than medical conditions among people seeking mental health services. Digital mental health care also uses artificial intelligence to classify patients and increase access and availability of services. 

Shakespeare Martineau wanted greater agility and freedom with improved end-point security, flexible productivity and practicality. When they migrated to Surface devices, they got that and more. Improved morale, increased productivity, reduced downtime, an increase in billable hours and enhanced client satisfaction. “Microsoft Surface complimented our strategy and was the device of choice to support our Positive, Passionate, People. The product is very good – in style, different ways of working and real performance – and it gives our staff the agility and freedom to work in a way that suits their lives whilst maximising productivity and effectiveness,” says Dal Virdi, IT Director.

Hybrid work has caused organisations to fluidly transition between work and personal activities. As a result, more personal data is being generated, retained, shared, and accessed across a multitude of devices and clouds, making the data susceptible to attacks. In fact, 58 percent of data breaches in 2020 involved personal data and there are growing concerns over trust in technologies and organisations that handle personal data and the data privacy regulation landscape is more complex than ever and staying ahead of it can feel impossible. But this work is critical— to safeguard people and the tools they use to stay connected, get work done, and thrive in today’s hybrid environment. In this digital event, Microsoft simplifies some of the complexity around data privacy. Explore Microsoft’s Privacy Management for Microsoft 365 and learn more on:  • Identifying critical privacy risks and conflicts • Automating privacy operations and responding to subject rights requests • Empowering employees to make smart data handling decisions

Whether accidental and incidental, insider risks can pose a threat to your organisation. According to the 2020 Ponemon study, The Cost of Insider Threats, the average cost of an insider risk has increased 31 percent since 2018 to about £8.2m per incident. Due to the rise of hybrid working, leaders and IT teams must have visibility over insider risks. In this blog, Microsoft’s Dan Cousineau shares the tools organisations can use and how to build a culture of trust that will reduce the risk of insider threats.

With the rapid rise in new technology for healthcare, organizations in the industry are facing new challenges. Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and a new wave of innovation enable connectivity in healthcare data, offering interoperability and transforming the patient's experience.
