Combatting Cyberthreats with Microsoft Defender 365 - CollabDays Finland 2023Michael Noel
As presented at CollabDays Finland, Helsinki, 2023-09-09
The dramatic rise in the number and severity of cyber-threats faced by organizations today has led to a proliferation of countermeasure IT security tool-sets. In many cases, these security tools operate independently from each other and can lead to siloed alerting and monitoring making it difficult for IT staff to effectively identify threats and mitigate them before they become major issues.
Microsoft Defender 365 suite of cloud security tools consolidates multiple security tool-sets under a single management interface and provides for end-to-end security, allowing administrators to quickly identify and contain threats. Rather than constantly being on the defensive, Defender 365 provides for the ability to proactively hunt for vulnerabilities and potential bad actors while they are still making lateral moves within your environment, allowing IT cybersecurity the ability to stay one step ahead of increasingly sophisticated hackers.
This session takes an in-depth look at the tools that are part of the Microsoft Defender 365 suite, including Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Identity and more. Discover how to better control, audit, and manage your organization’s data in both the cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
• Explore the various tool-sets and capabilities built into Microsoft 365 Defender, including Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) functionality, endpoint threat detection and management, and sophisticated on-premises real-time threat prevention tools.
• Examine how real-time threats can overwhelm more traditional threat management systems and how an intuitive ‘single pane of glass’ view of threat detection and management can greatly improve the odds of stopping sophisticated cyberattacks.
• Understand how Microsoft licensing for Microsoft Defender 365 is structured and how you can take advantage of these security tools for little or even no cost in some scenarios.

You are Doing IT Security Wrong - Understanding the Threat of Modern Cyber-at...Michael Noel
Organizations today are vastly unprepared for the threat of modern cyber-attacks. At the same time, the attackers are becoming more sophisticated and the amount of resources at their disposal is increasing. It has become a lucrative business to hack, disrupt, and steal intellectual property from organizations of all sizes and in all business sectors.
While the attackers are becoming more sophisticated, organizations have their IT security positioned for threats from the past century, with poor password management techniques, simple ACL based file permissions, and basic firewall and zone-based containment techniques. This makes it easier for attackers to obtain access to critical intellectual property and makes career-ruining disruptions all the more common.
This session focuses on understanding what is currently wrong with IT security practices and how your organization can change processes, techniques, and tools to provide for a significantly higher level of IT security without necessarily having to implement expensive tools or obtrusive processes.
• Understand the pitfalls of current IT Security practices, including myths around password change policies, allowing logins without providing multiple factors, and the proliferation of ‘always-on’ admin rights.
• Examine how simple changes in IT strategy can greatly improve your overall IT posture, including providing for up to a 99% improvement in the likelihood of a data credential theft.
• Determine which easy to deploy tools and features which you may already be licensed for can be used to tighten up IT security within an environment, including solutions such as Microsoft Defender for Identity, Azure Sentinel, Microsoft Cloud App Security, next-generation firewalls, and more.
Securing IT Against Modern Threats with Microsoft Cloud Security Tools - M365...Michael Noel
Organizations today are facing unprecedented and sophisticated attacks to their internal Information Technology infrastructure. These evolving attacks include spear phishing, ransomware, credential hijacking, and more and can result in significant data loss and/or theft of confidential and valuable intellectual property. In response to these threats, Microsoft has released an array of tools such as Azure Sentinel, Cloud App Security, Microsoft Defender for Identity, and more which can help to secure and protect against these threats. These tools work with both on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure to provide for comprehensive protection of hybrid environments.
This session breaks down each of these Microsoft tools and provides for an understanding of their value for specific security scenarios. A simple, no-marketing approach is taken to evaluating each individual tool, and a simple breakdown of what is provided with each Microsoft licensing model is outlined. Attendees will gain a better appreciation to which tools to utilize and how to better protect their Information Technology investments from the type of career-ending attacks which are unfortunately common today.
• Understand how modern threats such as spear phishing, ransomware, credential hijacking, and more are commonly faced in today’s IT environments and what tools and techniques can be used to mitigate the risk faced by these modern threats
• Examine Microsoft security tools such as Azure Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Azure Security Center, Cloud App Security, Azure AD Privileged Identity Management, Azure AD Identity Protection, Azure Information Protection, and more
• Understand which tools are available for each licensing model in the Microsoft world and when it may make sense to ‘upgrade’ existing licenses to support specific toolsets as opposed to investment in third-party tools

9. Architecting the FarmScaling to Large Farms Multiple Dedicated Web Servers Multiple Dedicated Service App Servers Multiple Dedicated Query Servers Multiple Dedicated Crawl Servers, with multiple Crawl DBs to increase parallelisation of the crawl process Multiple distributed Index partitions (max of 10 million items per index partition) Two query components for each Index partition, spread among servers
10. Previously a third party product ($$$$) More reasonable pricing now Highly tuned and specialised search engine for SharePoint and also as an enterprise search platform Replaces SharePoint 2010 Native Search if used ‘Net new’ features built-in. Architecting the FarmFAST Search
22. Virtualisation of SharePoint ServersVirtualisation Performance Monitoring Network Bandwidth – Bytes Total/sec <40% Utilisation = Good 41%-64% = Caution >65% = Trouble Network Latency - Output Queue Length 0 = Good 1-2= OK >2 = Trouble Processor (Host Only) <60% Utilisation= Good 60%-90% = Caution >90% = Trouble Available Memory 50% and above = Good 10%-50% = OK <10% = Trouble Disk – Avg. Disk sec/Read or Avg. Disk sec/Write Up to 15ms = fine 15ms-25ms = Caution >25ms = Trouble
23. Virtualisation of SharePoint ServersQuick Farm Provisioning using VMM/Virtual Center Create new Virtual Guest (Windows Server 2008 R2) Install SP2010 Binaries. Stop before running Config Wizard Turn Virtual Guest into Template, modify template to allow it to be added into domain Add PowerShell script to run on first login, allowing SP to be added into farm or to create new farm End Result - 15 minute entire farm provisioning…quickly add servers into existing farms or create new farms (Test, Dev, Prod) on demand
26. Start with a distributed architecture of content databases from the beginning, within reason (more than 50 per SQL instance is not recommended) Distribute content across Site Collections from the beginning as well, it is very difficult to extract content after the face Allow your environment to scale and your users to ‘grow into’ their SharePoint site collections Data ManagementDistribute Data Across Content DBs and Site Collections
27.
28. BLOBs are unstructured content stored in SQL Includes all documents, pictures, and files stored in SharePoint Excludes Metadata and Context, information about the document, version #, etc. Until recently, could not be removed from SharePoint Content Databases Classic problem of structured vs. unstructured data – unstructured data doesn’t really belong in a SQL Server environment Data ManagementBinary Large OBject (BLOB) Storage
29. Data ManagementGetting your BLOBs out of the Content DBs Can reduce dramatically the size of Content DBs, as upwards of 80%-90% of space in content DBs is composed of BLOBs Can move BLOB storage to more efficient/cheaper storage Improve performance and scalability of your SharePoint deployment – But highly recommended to use third party
32. SQL Database OptimisationContent Databases Distributed Between Multiple Volumes Break Content Databases and TempDB into multiple files (MDF, NDF), total should equal number of physical processors (not cores) on SQL server. Pre-size Content DBs and TempDB to avoid fragmentation Separate files onto different drive spindles for best IO perf. Example: 100GB total Content DB on Four-way SQL Server would have four database files distributed across four sets of drive spindles = 25GB pre-sized for each file.
33. SQL Database OptimisationTempDB Best Practises TempDB is critical for performance Pre-size to 20% of the size of the largest content database. Break into multiple files across spindles as noted Note there is a separate TempDB for each physical instance Note that if using SQL Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for any databases in an instance, the tempDB is encrypted.
35. Clustering is Shared Storage, can’t survive storage failure, makes Mirroring more attractive Clustering fails over more quickly Mirroring is not supported for all databases, but Clustering is Both Clustering and Mirroring can be used at the same time (Instance to Instance) High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – Clustering vs. Mirroring
36. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – SQL Database Mirroring Introduced in SQL 2005 SP1 Greatly improved in SQL 2008 and now SQL 2008 R2 Available in Enterprise and Standard (Synchronous only) editions Works by keeping a mirror copy of a database or databases on two servers Can be used locally, or the mirror can be remote Can be set to use a two-phase commit process to ensure integrity of data across both servers Can be combined with traditional shared storage clustering to further improve redundancy SharePoint 2010 is now Mirroring aware!
37. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – Database Mirroring Model #1 – Single Site Single Site Synchronous Replication Uses a SQL Witness Server to Failover Automatically Mirror all SharePoint DBs in the Farm Use a SQL Alias to switch to Mirror Instance
38. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – Database Mirroring Model #2 – Cross-Site with HA Two Sites 1-10 ms Latency max 1Gb Bandwidth minimum Farm Servers in each location Auto Failover
39. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – Database Mirroring Model #2 – Remote Farm Two Sites Two Farms Mirror only Content DBs Failover is Manual Read-only Mode possible Must Re-Attach and Re-Index
40. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – Database Support for Mirroring – Slide 1 of 2
41. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryData Tier – Database Support for Mirroring – Slide 2 of 2
42. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryTwo Node/Two Instance Cluster – Take Advantage of both servers
43. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryNetwork Load Balancing Hardware Based Load Balancing (F5, Cisco, Citrix NetScaler – Best performance and scalability Software Windows Network Load Balancing fully supported by MS, but requires Layer 2 VLAN (all packets must reach all hosts.) Layer 3 Switches must be configured to allow Layer 2 to the specific VLAN. If using Unicast, use two NICs on the server, one for communications between nodes. If using Multicast, be sure to configure routers appropriately Set Affinity to Single (Sticky Sessions) If using VMware, note fix to NLB RARP issue (http://tinyurl.com/vmwarenlbfix)
44. High Availability and Disaster RecoveryWindows Software Network Load Balancing Recommendations Best Practice – Create Multiple Web Apps with Load-balanced VIPs (Sample below) Web Role Servers sp1.companyabc.com (10.0.0.101) – Web Role Server #1 sp2.companyabc.com (10.0.0.102) – Web Role Server #2 Clustered VIPs shared between SP1 and SP2 (Create A records in DNS) spnlb.companyabc.com (10.0.0.103) - Cluster spca.companyabc.com (10.0.0.104) – SP Central Admin spsmtp.companyabc.com (10.0.0.105) – Inbound Email VIP home.companyabc.com (10.0.0.106) – Main SP Web App (can be multiple) mysite.companyabc.com (10.0.0.107) – Main MySites Web App
46. SharePoint InstallationScripted Installations Good to understand how to install SharePoint from the command-line, especially if setting up multiple servers. Allows for options not available in the GUI, such as the option to rename databases to something easier to understand. Use PowerShell with SharePoint 2010 Sample scripts available for download…
48. SharePoint InstallationSome Manual Service Apps Still Required Due to complexity and/or bugs, certain Service Apps will need to be manually configured in most cases. This includes the following: PerformancePoint Service Application User Profile Service Application Web Analytics Service Application
50. SharePoint SecurityLayers of Security in a SharePoint Environment Infrastructure Security and Best Practises Physical Security Best Practice Service Account Setup Kerberos Authentication Data Security Role Based Access Control (RBAC) Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) of SQL Databases Antivirus Transport Security Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) from Server to Client IPSec from Server to Server Edge Security Inbound Internet Security (Forefront UAG/TMG) Rights Management
52. SharePoint SecurityInfrastructure – Enable Kerberos when using Classic-Auth When creating any Web Applications in Classic-mode, USE KERBEROS. It is much more secure and also faster with heavy loads as the SP server doesn’t have to keep asking for auth requests from AD. Kerberos auth does require extra steps, which makes people shy away from it, but once configured, it improves security considerably and can improve performance on high-load sites. Should also be configured on SPCA Site! (Best Practice = Configure SPCA for NLB, SSL, and Kerberos (i.e. https://spca.companyabc.com)
53. SharePoint SecurityData – Role Based Access Control (RBAC) Role Groups defined within Active Directory (Universal Groups) – i.e. ‘Marketing,’ ‘Sales,’ ‘IT,’ etc. Role Groups added directly into SharePoint ‘Access Groups’ such as ‘Contributors,’ ‘Authors,’ etc. Simply by adding a user account into the associated Role Group, they gain access to whatever rights their role requires. SharePoint Group
54. SharePoint SecurityData - Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) New in SQL Server 2008 Only Available with the Enterprise Edition Seamless Encryption of Individual Databases Transparent to Applications, including SharePoint
56. SharePoint SecurityTransport - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption External or Internal Certs highly recommended Protects Transport of content 20% overhead on Web Servers Can be offloaded via SSL offloaders if needed Don’t forget for SPCA as well!
