Project Overview
A professional services firm operating with a fully remote workforce faced increased exposure to ransomware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access to Microsoft 365 and cloud resources. With employees accessing corporate data from unmanaged devices and multiple locations, the organization required a secure, scalable solution to protect identities, endpoints, and data.
Ransom Secure implemented a Microsoft-based security architecture leveraging Microsoft Defender, Intune, Azure AD, and Sentinel to secure remote access, enforce device compliance, and ensure continuous threat monitoring across the environment.
Challenges
1
Increased phishing and ransomware attacks targeting remote employees
2
Unmanaged and non-compliant devices accessing corporate resources
3
Weak identity controls and lack of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
4
Limited visibility into remote endpoint activity and threats
5
Risk of data leakage across personal and corporate devices
Solutions
1
Implemented Microsoft Intune (Endpoint Manager) to enforce device compliance, security policies, and remote device management
2
Enabled Azure AD Conditional Access and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to secure user authentication and restrict risky logins
3
Deployed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Office 365 to protect against ransomware, phishing, and endpoint threats
4
Integrated Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM/SOAR) for centralized monitoring, threat detection, and automated incident response
