What is Microsoft ATA [EOL]?

Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) provides a simple and fast way to understand what is happening within your network by identifying suspicious user and device activity with built-in intelligence and providing clear and relevant threat information on a simple attack timeline. Microsoft ATA is an on-premises platform to help you protect your enterprise from advanced targeted attacks by automatically analyzing, learning, and identifying normal and abnormal entity (user, devices, and resources) behavior. It detects suspicious activities and malicious attacks with behavioral analytics, adapts to the changing nature of cyber-security threats, focuses on what is important with a simple attack timeline and reduces false positive fatigue.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "The stability of the solution is very good."
  • "The solution works well when used with other Microsoft solutions."
  • "One of the most valuable features is the ability to report on questionable activity."

Room for Improvement

  • "There are occasions where it generates some false positives and you have to embark into figuring it out. You need to find out if it was a true alert or a false positive. It's a little bit cumbersome in that area."
  • "It would be ideal if the interface allowed for more granular configurations. For example, if I were to set a rule that is a deviation from the pre-defined rules in the Microsoft product, there's conflict."
  • "Some of the newer features are not completely there yet... For example, there's a tool that allows you to grade your overall internal security and I don't feel that it's completely accurate."

Pricing

  • "I believe we are looking into new licenses. They may be called the E5. Honestly, I don't have it on top of my mind, but I think it's around seven to $10 a user per month."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.

Product version discussed: 1.9
Good integration, simple to maintain, and very stable

Pros

"The stability of the solution is very good."

Cons

"There are occasions where it generates some false positives and you have to embark into figuring it out. You need to find out if it was a true alert or a false positive. It's a little bit cumbersome in that area."

What is our primary use case?

The solution does all my checks and handles all my domain controllers, and DNS, and integrates with the teams well. Basically, I get to forward some of the notes that ATA generates to my team so I can see them all in a single tool.

What is most valuable?

I like the fact that it looks for some of those very, very obscure techniques and attacks like golden tickets. Those are kind of very, very difficult attacks to spot. Not all of the teams that I worked with in the past had the ability to do that. With Microsoft ATA I was able to have visibility over those kinds of techniques and attacks.

Easy to define rules but interface needs better granularity and only integrates well with other Microsoft solutions

Pros

"The solution works well when used with other Microsoft solutions."

Cons

"It would be ideal if the interface allowed for more granular configurations. For example, if I were to set a rule that is a deviation from the pre-defined rules in the Microsoft product, there's conflict."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used by my clients in order to combine security software.

What is most valuable?

The solution works well when used with other Microsoft solutions.

It's rather easy to define your rules.

Gives us better, real-time awareness of possible employee-fraud situations

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is the ability to report on questionable activity."

Cons

"Some of the newer features are not completely there yet... For example, there's a tool that allows you to grade your overall internal security and I don't feel that it's completely accurate."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is network security.

How has it helped my organization?

It's given us a better, more real-time ability to be aware of employee situations that could be fraudulent.

It has also measurably decreased our mean time to detect threats by about 50 percent, and helped increase staff productivity, saving about an hour per day.
