Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the frontline of collaboration security, protecting organizations from advanced email, messaging and collaboration-based threats across Microsoft 365. Our team builds the SOC experiences that analysts live in every day, from Incidents & Investigation, Advanced Hunting, and contextual and integrated Threat Intelligence.
