Sharepoint Monitoring
Comprehensive Data Collection from SharePoint
Threat Sight collects various logs and events from SharePoint, including file access, modifications, deletions, and sharing activities. It also monitors user activities, administrative actions, and potential security incidents related to SharePoint data. Comprehensive data collection is essential for effectively identifying and responding to threats, ensuring that no suspicious activity goes unnoticed.
File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)
File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) is a key feature of Threat Sight that tracks changes to your files. Threat Sight generates alerts whenever files are added, modified, or deleted. It detects unusual patterns such as mass file deletions or modifications, which can indicate ransomware activity, allowing for prompt response to potential threats.
User Activity Monitoring
Threat Sight also monitors user activities on SharePoint. It triggers alerts on unauthorized access attempts and identifies abnormal behavior, such as logging in from unfamiliar locations or devices. By tracking these activities, Threat Sight helps ensure that only authorized users access your SharePoint data, enhancing overall security.
Anomalous Administrative Actions
Threat Sight alerts on anomalous administrative actions, such as changes to security policies or sharing permissions. It also monitors changes to user accounts that might affect access to SharePoint. Detecting these changes early helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures that your data remains secure.
Built-in Ransomware Protections in SharePoint
SharePoint has several built-in protections against Ransomware. These include file versioning, which allows users to restore previous versions of files in case of unwanted changes, and advanced threat detection mechanisms that identify and mitigate Ransomware attacks. In the event of a Ransomware attack, users can recover files from the Recycle Bin or restore the entire SharePoint site to a previous state using the Restore feature.
Ransomware Indicators
Ransomware often renames files during encryption. Threat Sight can detect and alert on this pattern, as well as unusual file access patterns, such as high volumes of file modifications or deletions. It can also detect and alert if a process indicative of ransomware behavior is executed. These capabilities allow for early detection and response to ransomware threats.
Real-time Alerts
Threat Sight provides real-time alerts to security teams about potential ransomware activities, enabling quick response. Alerts come with detailed information about the affected files, user actions, and the nature of the suspicious activity. This immediate notification helps in taking timely action to mitigate the impact of Ransomware attacks.
Automated Response
Based on predefined rules, Threat Sight can initiate automated response actions, such as disabling affected user accounts or blocking IP addresses. Threat Sight provides a comprehensive security overview and coordinated response to Ransomware threats. Automated response capabilities ensure that threats are contained quickly and efficiently.
Monitoring Unauthorized Access to SharePoint
Threat Sight monitors unauthorized access attempts to SharePoint by analyzing access logs and identifying anomalies. It tracks who accesses files and whether they have the necessary permissions. Alerts are generated when there are attempts to access files or data without proper authorization, enabling quick intervention to prevent data breaches.
Monitoring SharePoint Login Connections
Threat Sight keeps track of all login attempts to SharePoint, including successful and failed logins. It monitors for abnormal login patterns, such as multiple failed attempts, logins from unfamiliar locations, or unusual times of day. These patterns can indicate potential unauthorized access attempts or compromised accounts. By monitoring login connections, Threat Sight helps ensure that only authorized users access your SharePoint data.
