Solution	The financial services company chose Vectra’s Cognito Detect for Office 365, Cognito Detect, and Cognito Recall, all running on the Cognito platform. Cognito for Office 365 ingests activity logs from multiple services like Office 365, Azure Active Directory, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange. Vectra applies AI-derived machine learning algorithms to proactively detect and respond to attack behaviors in these services to avert damage and theft. Detections are correlated to accounts and prioritized based on risk, giving security professionals a complete attack narrative to quickly stop and mitigate threats. The company also deployed AI-driven Cognito Recall, a cloud-hosted investigative workbench that uses security-enriched metadata to dramatically improve threat hunting and incident investigations.
