About ThreatSync+ SaaS Integration — Microsoft 365

Applies To: ThreatSync+ SaaS

ThreatSync+ SaaS enables you to monitor user activity from third-party Software as a service (SaaS) and cloud environments, such as Microsoft 365.

ThreatSync+ SaaS uses collectors to collect user activity logs from Microsoft 365 to enable ThreatSync+ SaaS to monitor and report on anomalous user activity and logins by authorized and unauthorized Microsoft 365 users.

ThreatSync+ SaaS for Microsoft 365 threat detection includes:

  • Defense controls in three main categories:
    • Exfiltration by an Internal Actor
    • Suspicious Access Behavior
    • Suspicious Login Activity
  • Microsoft 365 Defense Goal Report
  • Microsoft 365 user activity monitoring
