Microsoft 365 Overview Dashboard

Overview

Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based suite of productivity and communication tools, including Microsoft Office applications (such as OneNote and OneDrive) and other popular tools like Skype and Teams. As these tools are integral to many organizations’ workflows, monitoring activity within your Microsoft 365 environment is critical to maintaining security and compliance.

By integrating Microsoft 365 with Datadog, you can ingest and analyze audit logs that provide rich insights into the activity across your environment. These logs are essential for understanding the compliance status of your services, applications, and files, and they enable real-time monitoring and alerting on security threats.

With this integration, you can:

Monitor service activity and file access: Gain visibility into operations performed within Microsoft 365 services and track the most common activities to detect anomalies or unusual usage patterns.
Track user activity: Audit logs capture information about users, including IP addresses and locations, allowing you to visualize active users and identify potential security risks, such as compromised or malicious accounts.
Monitor authentication and authorization actions: Keep track of login activity, including failed attempts, with detailed data about the source IP, service used, and outcome. Use Datadog’s analytics to identify login failure patterns and enhance your organization’s security posture.
Identify and mitigate security threats: Analyze your logs in real time to detect unauthorized actions, unusual user behaviors, or other signs of security issues.

By combining Microsoft 365 audit logs with Datadog’s powerful monitoring and visualization tools, you can centralize your organization’s monitoring efforts, enhance security, and ensure compliance across your Microsoft 365 environment.
