First Distribution has developed an in-depth guide for Microsoft resellers, enabling them to learn more about the extensive functionality Microsoft’s security tools offer.

This comes at a time when many businesses are only using a fraction of the full security capabilities of the Microsoft ecosystem, leaving them unknowingly exposed to malicious actors.

Resellers which are not helping local businesses leverage the large suite of Microsoft security tools are effectively putting their reputations at risk – not to mention the operations and financial stability of their clients.

First Distribution has seen this unfortunate scenario play out at several South African businesses, caused by insufficient security systems and underuse of available solutions.

The guide

First Distribution’s Microsoft Security Technologies Guid provides clarity on six key Microsoft security solutions:

Microsoft Defender – Advanced threat protection solutions that safeguard endpoints, identities, emails, and cloud services.
Microsoft Entra – Identity and access management for on-premise and cloud environments with single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access policies.
Microsoft Intune – Unified endpoint management platform for secure access to corporate resources, enforcing compliance policies, and enabling remote device management.
Microsoft Priva – Data protection and privacy management platform for storing and protecting sensitive customer information.
Microsoft Purview – Data governance solution that delivers a unified view of an organisation’s data estate.
Microsoft Sentinel – Cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) solution that uses ML to deliver intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence.

The guide will empower resellers to add these solutions to their portfolios and educate them on the value of each solution – including when it is applicable to their clients.

Resellers can then deliver superior services to their clients, enhancing their reputations while strengthening their clients’ security practices.

Microsoft advantage

Microsoft is the industry leader in business security, and the best option for your clients’ needs.

This is thanks to Microsoft’s extensive suite of ICT solutions that are ubiquitous in the business community – from cloud-based platforms like Microsoft Teams and Azure, to the unrivalled productivity tools available through Microsoft 365.

Microsoft’s security solutions are the best way to protect data, devices, and identities across all of these solutions, which are intrinsically designed to work together.

Furthermore, Microsoft has established itself as a leader in the ICT industry – making it easier to upsell your clients on Microsoft security products compared to competing security solutions.
