Key Features of Microsoft Defender for Offices 365
Threat Protection
- Anti-Phishing: Protects users from sophisticated phishing attacks by using machine learning to detect and block malicious emails. It also helps identify and warn users about impersonation attempts.
- Anti-Malware: Scans and filters incoming emails and attachments for malware, ensuring that harmful content never reaches your users.
- Safe Attachments: Instead of opening potentially harmful attachments, Safe Attachments automatically routes them to a virtual environment where they are scanned for suspicious behavior.
- Safe Links: URLs embedded in emails and documents are checked in real-time, blocking access to malicious sites even after the email has been delivered.
Threat Investigation & Response

- Threat Analytics: Provides detailed reporting and insights into threats targeting your organization, enabling IT teams to respond more effectively.
- Automated Investigation and Response (AIR): Automatically investigates suspicious activities and takes remediation actions, reducing the workload on your IT team and minimizing response times.
Post-Breach Detection and Remediation
- Threat Explorer: Offers an in-depth analysis of threats that have bypassed initial defenses, enabling IT teams to trace the source of an attack and take corrective measures.
- Attack Surface Reduction: Proactively reduces your organization’s attack surface by identifying and addressing security misconfigurations, unpatched vulnerabilities, and risky user behaviors.
Compliance and Data Governance
- Information Protection: Ensures sensitive data is protected by enforcing data loss prevention (DLP) policies across email and cloud services.
- Advanced Hunting: Provides a query-based threat hunting tool that allows IT professionals to proactively search for indicators of compromise (IOCs) within the organization’s data.

"I had my first PC before Windows 1.0 and the wide spread use of the internet. As technology increased, I had difficulty getting satisfactory response from various quasi support groups to respond to issues. That is , until I started with ISOC as my ISP. I am now semi-retired, but will still continue my relationship with ISOC. Any problem that I faced was always dealt with in a responsive and professional way. Also, I want make a special “shout out” to Tommy O’Donnell with your support group. He is a problem solver extraordinaire. He has the remarkable ability to communicate with someone like myself who barely can spell computer on good day. I have complete trust in his abilities and advice."
Jack
"Since switching to Office 365 from our inhouse email, our company has experienced almost zero email down time. The support we receive from the team at ISOCNET is friendly and professional and are very quick to address any issues that do come up. ISOCNET has been invaluable in their assistance as we move our sister companies into Office 365 also. I would highly recommend ISOCNET to anyone looking to move to Office 365."

Gratefully, Missy
"Hi, All. I really want to pass on my thanks to ISOC for having Josh Miller on your team. I have been a member of ISOC for about 15 years. I have never had anything but wonderful, attentive service whenever I had a question or problem. Josh took it to another level with his patience with me being a complete non-techie, helping me frequently with both emails and phone conversations. He held my hand through a most difficult series of issues with my not understanding how to make things work. Thanks for having such a great employee!"

"Hi, I just wanted to let you guys know what a gem you have in Shelley Enda. She is patient, smart, down-to-Earth and always flexible. We have recently had changes in leadership that have caused us to slow down on web design. She has been invaluable in helping us get through this process. I am always telling her how great she is but I want to make sure that everyone else does too. She is an excellent representation of your company. Seriously, she bends over backwards to make us happy."
