Operationalizing Identity Risk Insights with Veza + Microsoft Defender for Identity

Microsoft Defender for Identity (MDI) detects suspicious activities in service accounts, while Veza provides access governance capabilities to ensure these accounts follow the principle of least privilege. Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to service account security, combining detection and prevention into one unified system. MDI flags abnormal activity, while Veza ensures visibility into where service accounts have access across systems, apps, and cloud environments. This integration enables proactive management of service account risks, preventing privilege escalation and lateral movement. By leveraging MDI's behavioural analytics with Veza's access governance, organizations can secure their service accounts and stay ahead of emerging threats.
