“MICROSOFT’S
DIGITAL DEFENSE
REPORT REVEALED
THAT 70% OF
ORGANISATIONS
HAD SKILLS GAPS
ACROSS SECURITY
OPERATIONS.
O
rganisations today
face a range of
challenges that make
it increasingly difficult
for them to stay secure
in an ever-changing
cyber threat landscape. These
include economic constraints,
a shortage of cybersecurity
talent, and a surge in cyber
threats. Additionally, new
ways of working have emerged
resulting in increased pressure
on organisations to respond to
threats with greater efficiency
and effectiveness.
Microsoft Cybersecurity
Solutions
One way organisations have
responded to this pressure is
by exploring Microsoft Security
solutions available as part of the
Microsoft 365 E5 licence.
This trend for organisations to seek
additional capability from within
Microsoft Security solutions was
reinforced by the responses Adarma
received when they surveyed 500
security professionals on whether
they planned to consolidate their
cybersecurity tooling in the
next 12 months. 80% said they
are either already in the process
or plan to and only 2% did not see
a need to consolidate.
The Microsoft 365 E5 licence includes
the Microsoft 365 Defender Suite and
gives organisations access to marketleading security solutions to protect
against cybersecurity threats.
The Skills Gap
Utilising a comprehensive security
suite to its fullest potential can
be challenging due to the various
specialised skills required to cover
identity and access management,
endpoint detection and response,
software-as-a-service (SaaS)
application security, email security
and threat intelligence. Microsoft’s
2022 Digital Defense Report revealed
that 70% of organisations had skills
gaps across security operations,
which touches on all these areas.
Adarma’s report also corroborates
this, with over 40% citing lack of
expertise and capability as the
main challenges to consolidating
their security stack.
