Detecting breaches and protecting companies from cyberattacks is no simple task. Skilled threat actors are constantly developing new ways to exploit systems and steal sensitive information. Microsoft is helping companies fight back with sophisticated technology that protects, detects, and responds to threats.
Security in action
In March, Microsoft reported that Hafnium, a highly skilled and sophisticated threat actor from China, was targeting business customers using on-premises Exchange Server software. This state-sponsored actor used previously unknown exploits to target U.S. entities in critical industry sectors like healthcare, higher education, and defense. The goal was to steal data by gaining access to Exchange servers and controlling the compromised servers remotely. Soon after discovering Hafnium, Microsoft released several security updates for Microsoft Exchange Server and briefed relevant U.S. government agencies. They also updated Windows Defender to detect Hafnium attack methods.
