We often advise our clients that it starts with Organisational Readiness + Employee Engagement is the first thing that needs to be done. Items such as End-user comms, Leadership talks, IT Security refresher trainings are your first barrier in protecting data.
Then we focus on the tech:
- First, look into using Microsoft Defender for Office 365 because this is what you can use to simulate a phishing attack: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/attack-simulation-training-simulations?view=o365-worldwide. This tool is great to test if your end-user awareness campaigns are successful.
- Second, look at your Information Classification and Data Loss Prevention policies. If you have sensitive data that you think could be affected by a Mis-Dis information then ensure that you have a policy that cover those data.
- Third, look at Purview Insider Risk Management, this solution can help you analyse, assess and take actions on activities based on risks that you define. Example: The new Mis-Dis information tells people to start downloading and printing all data from HR. With Insider Risk, you can identify these actions once it breaches your defined threshold: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/insider-risk-management
- Fourth, Purview Communication Compliance, can help you identify risky conversations in Teams, Email and Yammer. Mis-Dis Information messages are designed to use sensational keywords to trigger emotions. IF you put a policy for items such for words like "shocking," "incredible," "you won't believe," or "experts are stunned" then you'll be able to catch them before it spreads.
