LogicManager vs. Microsoft Defender for Identity

It is more suitable to supply organizations with focused and improved risk management processes. I like how its vendor and third party risk management solution is a centralized solution that provides risk taxonomy infrastructure. This bridges the gap in the risk program, allocates resources effectively, keeps all the risk information in one place, and standardizes the risk management process.

Microsoft Defender for Identity is a great solution for each company that has an Active Directory. It fills in the blanks for Identity related incidents that are being missed in the XDR platform. To get a full view on identity risks it is an essential component

• detect threats and suspicious activities
• pro-active measurements on possible breaches
• identity security posture

• setup can be complicated, with AD complexity
• Sometimes the load on DCs is pretty high, leading to performance issues
• Better tuning options for preventing false-positive/bening alerts

Microsoft Defender for Identity is more specialized on the Identity platform, it is a single solution compared to a multi-solution. The integration is better when using the XDR suite in combination with Sentinel. Microsoft Defender for Identity gives a better overview of the security posture

• Cost impact was pretty high
• Learning curve, needed time (money) for training
• Greatly improved detections and gives more insights
