Adlumin Identity Threat Detection and Response
Your organisation relies on Microsoft 365 to get stuff done – from email to documents, collaboration, file storage and more. With that reliance comes a growing risk. Cybercriminals know that your users are the gateway to your most sensitive data, and they’re adapting quickly.
Attackers are now bypassing:
- Antivirus
- Firewalls
- Endpoint protection
Instead, they’re exploiting cloud identity systems – targeting your Microsoft 365 user accounts to gain access, move laterally and steal information. Once a single account is compromised, attackers often operate undetected for weeks or even months.
Between December 2024 and February 2025, Adlumin’s Security Operations Center reported that 44% of all threat detections originated from the cloud, not the endpoint.¹ These are identity-based threats – unauthorised logins, misused credentials, tampered security settings and stealthy inbox manipulations. If you’re only monitoring endpoints, you’re only seeing half the battle.
