Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

- it provides real-time visibility into suspicious activity and behavior - The UI is really simple and can be easily deployed - Feature like viewing all the attacks under single dashboard helps in incident response - The ability to track user account logins and movements

Easy integration, deployment and support

The built-in machine learning models learns from the data which is generated on the daily basis and hence evolves its algorithm to better gauge the common user behavior and detect any activity which deviates from the standard practice.

-It generates a lot of False positive alerts and works best with other Microsoft solutions. -It does not provide feature to build custom rules for detecting suspicious behavior. -The frequent update of the tool takes a lot of time

Challenges with integration with other non-Microsoft systems

The platform is of course prone to false positives and has to allow few suspected behavior before reporting to the admins.

ATA Review

Feb 24, 2020

ATA is a great product to give you analytic insights into your organization. I love how it analyzes user logins and computer access. It is helpful to be able to see suspicious activity on your network and have notifications sent so you can remediate issues. It is a very simple tool that gives you good insights and it has a super simple setup.
