Automate phishing simulations and reduce third-party security costs through AI integration
I consider integrating AI into our system to be one of the most valuable features of Microsoft Security Exposure Management because, as I mentioned, humans get tired and cannot work 24/7. AI can store more knowledge than a human brain. Therefore, using and integrating AI into our system is going to help us become more secure and improve our scores faster, in my opinion.My impression of Microsoft Security Exposure Management's ability to provide unified security insights across multi-cloud, SaaS, identity, OT, IoT, and non-Microsoft tools is quite positive. I was very impressed with the keynotes and the session about the new Security Copilot and cloud agents. I feel this will change the IT perspective significantly. People will start thinking about how to use AI and integrate it to make our environment more secure and work more efficiently, allowing us to focus on more innovative tasks. You do not have to sit down all the time; you can let the agent run automatically and follow a more secure path. I believe this is going to be a really great innovation. I evaluate the impact of Microsoft Security Exposure Management on our SOC operations efficiency from pre- to post-breach protection positively. We utilize a third-party security platform named Recon, which helps us monitor external attacks. However, we also have Microsoft Defender as a secondary secure layer. We receive notifications when users access untrusted websites or download large amounts of data from untrusted apps. As soon as we receive a notification, we contact our third party, Recon. With the changes I learned, I feel we no longer need a third-party tool. We can build an agent just like Recon did, and integrate it into our system to handle all the work, which means saving tons of money for the company, making everyone happy. The critical asset management feature of Microsoft Security Exposure Management helps in tagging and prioritizing high-value assets significantly. We also use a third-party organization for managing critical vulnerabilities and utilize the HPS dashboard. They provide us with monthly patches since Microsoft has a monthly update cycle. They show us pending updates or indicate if there are updates several months behind, highlighting critical vulnerabilities we must address. However, integrating Microsoft vulnerability management with the agent will be very beneficial. We can eliminate third-party tools and utilize the agent correctly, inputting the necessary knowledge that will save us a lot of money.

Centralized insights have improved vulnerability tracking and simplified cross-tool comparisons
The best features The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform offers is the ability to compare each tool. For example, both Tenable and Cortex provide security protection. In scenarios where we did not deploy Cortex XDR to some devices, we can identify this through The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform because it compares data with the Tenable side. This allows us to perform cross-checking between Tenable and Cortex. If we miss Cortex deployment for end devices, that endpoint could be vulnerable to our cloud applications, so this capability is invaluable. The main feature is the ability to check vulnerabilities. Beyond that, we can cross-check any misconfiguration and missing configuration, such as Cortex missing or Tenable vulnerability management missing on end devices. The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform shows us a summary of vulnerabilities, which gives us an idea about the security posture of our entire environment. Based on this information, we can decide what security gaps exist on our network and provide solutions to fix these vulnerability gaps. For example, some end devices may not be updated. The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform checks all summaries and provides a list of assets that are not updated. It gives a complete list by CVE of all devices that are not updated, which we can then provide to our team for remediation. We can request that they upgrade applications such as Google Chrome across all devices.
