Breach Prevention for Microsoft 365

Stop threats before they start with Breach Prevention for Microsoft 365.
Learn how to spot risky users and keep your business secure.

Why Breach Prevention Matters in Microsoft 365

Your Microsoft 365 account holds the keys to your business: email, documents, calendars and customer data. Cybercriminals know this. They don’t always force their way in. Often, they simply log in using stolen usernames and passwords.

Without identity protection in place, attackers can:

  • Send fake invoices from real employee accounts
  • Access confidential files without detection
  • Sell your login credentials on the dark web

These breaches often go unnoticed until it’s too late, which leaves financial information and other data exposed. TechKnowledgey’s breach prevention services are designed to stop threats and protect your critical data.

Key Benefits of Breach Prevention for Microsoft 365

You know how your bank locks down your credit card sometimes? Maybe they detected something odd, like you tried to use it in a new city, or with a new vendor and/or anything else outside of your normal pattern.

Breach Prevention for Microsoft 365 does the same thing for your email login. It locks things down to protect you when something does not look right and then we reach out to you to get things cleared up. With built-in data protection and security measures, we make sure your most sensitive data remains safe.

Just as your bank scans for unusual financial activity, our breach prevention service evaluates patterns in your environment. If a login attempt comes from an unexpected location, device, or time of day, our system immediately flags it.

It’s like having a digital security guard who knows the difference between your normal business operations and something suspicious. Employees can still get their work done without unnecessary friction, while still keeping hackers out.

By combining identity checks, access controls, and ongoing monitoring, we minimize the chance of a security incident. In doing so, we strengthen your overall risk management strategy while protecting your organization from downtime, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.

Here’s the breakdown:

Real-Time Identity Threat Detection

Stop suspicious activity as it happens. TechKnowledgey deploys detective measures to detect risky sign-ins and unusual user behavior before threats escalate into breaches.

Smarter, Adaptive Access Controls

Conditional access sets policies that evaluate context in real time (user location, device, sign-in patterns, etc.). The controls instantly block and/or challenge suspicious activity, without slowing down your team. These policies evaluate each sign-in attempt, giving you data security confidence across your environment.

Comprehensive Protection Across Apps and Devices

Whether your team uses Outlook, Teams, SharePoint or OneDrive, TechKnowledgey ensures consistent identity protection across all Microsoft 365 apps. On any device, in any location, we help secure personal information and guard against ransomware attacks.

This level of coverage gives your business confidence that work can continue uninterrupted, no matter how employees connect or where they’re located. TechKnowledgey protects sensitive data, no matter where/when/how it’s accessed.

Comprehensive protection also strengthens your ability to meet compliance requirements and maintain customer trust. By keeping security consistent across every application, you’re better positioned to avoid regulatory issues, financial losses, and reputational damage if a breach attempt occurs.

Compliance and Insurance Ready

We align your settings with cyber insurance security and compliance frameworks, so you’re always protected from denied claims.
