To effectively manage your Microsoft E5 cybersecurity tools, you should develop a comprehensive plan that includes policies for preventing malware spread, quarantining malicious files, and reporting phishing attempts. Additionally, consider engaging an external Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider to ensure continuous monitoring and effective incident response, as managing these tools in-house can be challenging due to the need for specialized expertise.

Partnering with an MDR provider can provide your organization with 24/7 visibility, ongoing cybersecurity event monitoring, and comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities. This approach can help reduce the risk of business disruption and optimize your investment in Microsoft E5, especially since many in-house cybersecurity teams may already be stretched thin.
