Microsoft 365 Is the #1 Cloud Platform Attackers Target
Every business uses M365, attackers know it, and stolen credentials = full access. Native Microsoft Defender helps — but targeted attacks slip through without active hunting.
M365 is the #1 cloud target
Attackers target M365 because every business uses it. Stolen credentials open email, files, SharePoint, Teams, and identity in one move.
Microsoft Defender alone isn’t enough
Defender catches known threats and obvious behaviors. Targeted attacks (BEC, OAuth abuse, illicit consent grants) slip through without active hunting.
Identity is the new perimeter in M365
In a cloud-first world, your identity controls are your firewall. Misconfigured Entra policies = direct exposure for the entire business.
Conditional Access requires expertise
Out-of-the-box M365 has gaps. Hardening requires policy work, baseline tuning, and ongoing review as Microsoft adds features.
Incident response needs M365 specialists
Compromised mailboxes, illicit OAuth grants, mass downloads, mailbox forwarding rules — these are M365-specific attacks needing M365-specific response.
Compliance audits demand evidence
HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2 in M365 environments need documented controls, DLP policies, audit logs, and retention configurations — most environments have gaps.
Active Monitoring and Response Across the Whole M365 Stack
Six capabilities covering email, identity, files, and active incident response specifically for Microsoft 365 environments.
24/7 M365 Threat Hunting
Active monitoring of Defender, Entra, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive logs — looking for what attackers do, not just what tools alert on.

Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.
