Cybersecurity Transformation At Bioton With Microsoft 365 E5 And Defender XDR

Bioton faced serious challenges in the field of IT security:

Distributed threat detection

Legacy systems did not provide consistent threat detection and control across the organization.

Lack of unified policies

Distributed security measures have made it difficult to effectively manage risk and data protection.

To meet the challenges, we have implemented advanced solutions – Microsoft 365 E5 Security with Defender XDR. This end-to-end solution offers an integrated approach to protection, based on a Zero Trust architecture that significantly strengthens cybersecurity.

How Microsoft 365 E3 with Defender XDR Supports Security

Microsoft 365 E3 with Defender XDR is a key part of your risk management strategy, offering advanced protection as part of a Zero Trust architecture. This solution is designed to effectively minimize the risk associated with cyber threats by integrating multiple layers of security.

Holistic threat monitoring

Defender XDR provides continuous analysis and monitoring of system activity. This allows for early detection and elimination of potential threats before they turn into serious incidents.

Zero Trust principles

Microsoft 365 E3 with Defender XDR implements a Zero Trust model that eliminates default trust and requires verification of every access. This approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data leaks.

Automate incident responses

By leveraging advanced automation mechanisms, Defender XDR allows you to respond quickly and effectively to security incidents, minimizing downtime and potential financial losses.

Data protection in various conditions

Microsoft 365 E3 guarantees the security of data both in transit and at rest, reducing the risk of data loss and unauthorized access.

Deploying Microsoft 365 E5 Security With Defender XDR – Benefits

The project involved around 400 users who now benefit from advanced security and data management tools. Implementing Microsoft 365 E5 Security with Defender XDR has brought tangible benefits to the organization.
  • Enhanced Protection
    Zero Trust architecture provided better control and monitoring, minimizing the risk of threats.
  • Unified Platform
    The implementation integrated security measures into a single platform, enabling consistent management and faster incident response.
  • Efficient Data Management
    The new analytics platform makes it easier to manage your data and generate accurate reports.
The implementation of Microsoft 365 E3 with Defender XDR at Bioton has significantly reduced the risk associated with cyber threats, offering effective defenses that help manage and minimize risk in a dynamically changing threat environment.

REFERENCES

The implementation of Microsoft 365 E5 Security was a natural evolution in enhancing user threat protection. Bioton decided on a full deployment of Defender XDR, and this holistic approach significantly reduces the risk of attacks. In the event of an incident, the correlation between Defender services enables a swift response. The decision to implement the M365 E5 Security solution was another step toward adopting a Zero Trust architecture. The project encompassed all employees within the organization. The APN Promise project team demonstrated commitment and expert knowledge, both in the deployment process and in working with other Microsoft family products.
