Many organisations have invested heavily in Microsoft security technologies but are not yet realising their full value.

The challenge is not just deploying security tools. It’s having the time, skills and operational maturity to manage them effectively, respond quickly to threats and build long-term cyber resilience. In fact, Microsoft found that in 8 out of 10 ransomware incidents they investigated, attackers stole data before encrypting systems, highlighting the need for a security strategy focused on detection, response and recovery, not just prevention.

Join Microsoft and ANS as we explore how organisations can maximise their Microsoft security investment, strengthen their security posture, and overcome the resource and skills challenges that often stand in the way.

We’ll discuss the security outcomes organisations can achieve with Microsoft 365 E5, what Microsoft 365 E7 adds through advanced identity and AI security capabilities, and how co-managed security services and a modern Security Operations Centre (SOC) can help turn security investments into measurable business outcomes.

• The security outcomes organisations can achieve with Microsoft 365 E5
