Unpacking key features and benefits of MDI

MDI is designed to protect against identity-based attacks in hybrid environments, providing a vigilant watch over AD and Microsoft Entra ID. MDI continuously monitors user activities and authentication patterns, offering real-time alerts and insights to detect threats such as credential theft, lateral movement, and privilege escalation.

These are the key features of MDI:

• Behavioral analytics: MDI builds a baseline of normal user behaviors to spot unusual activities, such as unexpected logins or data access. This helps catch compromised accounts early before attackers can cause serious harm.
• Advanced threat detection: MDI excels at detecting sophisticated attack techniques, such as PtH, PtT, Golden Ticket, Silver Ticket, and Kerberoasting. It also catches threats such as DCShadow and DCSync, providing insights into potential AD manipulation.
• Lateral Movement Path (LMP) analysis: MDI maps potential pathways attackers could...
