Most organizations that migrate to Microsoft 365 will purchase the Business Premium plan. Business Premium gives users all the apps they are familiar with along with endpoint security using Microsoft Defender. Using Defender, administrators can:
- Block malicious applications from running on devices
- Monitor web traffic and block access to sites
- Monitor email for malicious content and spam
- Scan devices for vulnerabilities to emerging threats
- Create alerts for applications missing security updates
- Log and action suspicious sign-in attempts on the device
Defender works from the Endpoint up to the Cloud, using an agent on the device to send information up to Microsoft 365 for monitoring, analysis and remediation.
Organizations looking to evolve their security and compliance posture will purchase the E5 plan. This plan gives organizations all the benefits of Business Premium plus additional protection using Microsoft Purview. Purview lives on the tenant, and monitors the data flowing to and from Exchange, SharePoint, Teams and other Microsoft services to maintain data governance goals.
Using Purview, administrators can:
- Create Data Loss Policies to monitor how users are interacting with data
- Track Personally Identifiable, Private Health, or Sensitive Financial Information across Exchange, SharePoint and OneDrive
- Automatically or manually label and manage access to sensitive data types discovered by Purview
- Monitor and track Compliance adherence in the tenant, or roll out new Compliance Standards from NIST, CIS, HIPAA
- Monitor Copilot usage to determine how well the investment in Copilot licenses is paying off
Purview works from the Cloud down to the Endpoint, monitoring and controlling access to Cloud-native document storage and communication applications and sending actions down to the Endpoint.
In concert, Defender and Purview serve to secure users, their devices and the company itself. Users will be protected from intrusion or compromise, and company data is protected from exfiltration or manipulation by unauthorized or compromised users.
