Assumes breach
Minimises blast radius and segment access. Verifies end-to-end encryption and uses analytics to get visibility, drive threat detection, and improve defenses.
Verifies explicitly
Authenticates and authorises based on all available data points, including user identity, location, device health, service or workload, data classification, and anomalies.
Least privileged access
Limits user access with just-in-time and just-enough-access (JIT/JEA), risk-based adaptive polices and data protection to help secure both data and productivity.
Zero Trust Framework
With solutions built on a Zero Trust Framework, Microsoft has always taken a “never trust, always verify” approach to security.
Instead of assuming everything behind a corporate firewall is safe, the Zero Trust model: assumes breaches, verifies explicitly and uses least privileged access.

IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT
Identity security has become critically important in the new way of working, especially when allowing teams to access apps from anywhere. Securing this access across your network and applications begins with Azure Active Directory.
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
Azure AD is the foundation of your cloud identity and the security perimeter for all of your Microsoft online services, including Microsoft 365. An enterprise identity service, Azure AD provides single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and conditional access to help protect your users from 99.9% of cybersecurity attacks.
Connect your workforce to all your apps, from any location, using any device.
Help safeguard access to data and apps and keep it simple for users.
Apply the right access controls to keep your organisation more secure.
THREAT PROTECTION
Protecting your organisation’s users, devices, and data is made simple through the prevention, detection, investigation and remediation of sophisticated attacks with Microsoft’s threat protection.
Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)
ATP helps secure you the most fundamental and primary communication methods such as email, web, and collaboration tools. Malicious content in emails and websites is, and remains, one of the most pervasive problems in cybersecurity. Business email compromise is a major challenge for Australian businesses, with around 20% of all business email attacks globally targeting Australian companies1.
Forrester found that ATP – built-in to Windows 10 – contributed to a 40% reduction in risk of a data breach and caught 1.7 times as many threats as other endpoint detection and response tools2.
Microsoft Sentinel SIEM
Adopting cloud must go hand-in-hand with an integrated on-premises and cloud security posture. Microsoft Sentinel is a scalable, cloud-native, security information event management (SIEM) solution that leverages AI and automated response to proactively respond to threats.
By taking a wide array of signals across users, devices, applications and infrastructure – including Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 – Microsoft Sentinel is your birds-eye view across your organisation, alleviating the stress of increasingly sophisticated attacks.
CLOUD & NETWORK SECURITY
It takes more than one line of defence to keep data safe. Microsoft Azure delivers a comprehensive state-of-the-art security ecosystem that stretches across the cloud and your network.
Cloud Security
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps – Delivers rich visibility, control over data travel and deep analytics to help you identify and combat threats.
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud – Gives increased visibility and control over your Azure resources by unifying integrated security monitoring, policy management and enabling advanced threat protection across your hybrid cloud workloads. Also integrates with Azure Security Center whilst using AI and automation to protect and secure Azure and hybrid cloud workloads against threats such as remote desktop protocol (RDP) brute-force attacks, and SQL injections.
- GitHub advanced security – Accelerates DevSecOps adoption and secures software from code to cloud by both detecting software vulnerabilities and coding errors – and detecting foreign code such as keys and tokens that have been checked into the repository.
Network Security
- Azure Application Gateway – A web traffic load balancer featuring a web application firewall and intelligent layer 7 routing to enable you to manage traffic to your web applications.
- Azure Web Application Firewall – Protects your apps with a cloud-native web application firewall (WAF) that prevents malicious attacks and common web vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
- Azure VPN Gateway – Securely connects your on-premises networks to Azure via site-to-site VPNs using industry-standard Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE).
- Azure DDos Protection – Automatically monitors your traffic for indicators of DDoS attacks which are increasingly targeted to the enterprise.
- Azure Firewall manager – Provides central and simplified network security policy and route management to control network configurations and rules across multiple Azure Firewall instances.
- Azure Front-door – An Application Delivery Network that offers a range of layer 7 load-balancing capabilities and intelligent threat protection to secure and boost the reliability and performance of your applications.
INFORMATION PROTECTION
Microsoft’s security solutions protects your sensitive information whether it’s stored in the cloud or on-premises. Data#3 can help you better understand these critical capabilities and work with you to enhance your document and email security.
Azure Information Protection (AIP)
Classify, label and protect confidential documents and emails by encrypting emails and messages, blocking the forwarding of confidential information, setting restrictions and providing permissions.
Microsoft 365 Information Protection
Prevent accidental or inappropriate sharing of information, with Microsoft’s simplified, comprehensive protection solution. Information Protection provides you with the visibility needed to identify important data across your hybrid environment and apply flexible protection actions including encryption, access restrictions and visual markings.
Windows Information Protection
Windows Information Protection comes into play when securing corporate data on employee-owned devices. It works by separating and identifying corporate data stored on the device – not personal data. It then uses encryption and other restrictions to protect this data.
ENDPOINT SECURITY
Recognised as a leader in endpoint protection, Microsoft’s powerful collection of security tools allow customers to proactively protect, detect and respond to evolving threats before they impact business.
Microsoft Defender
A completely cloud-based solution, Microsoft Defender encompasses protection and response, automatic investigation and remediation, risk-based vulnerability management and assessment, attack surface reduction and managed hunting services – all within a unified security management solution.
