Network, Azure and Office 365 Detection and Response Solution

Courts Service

This competition is for a solution to provide detection and automated response against threats/attacks including โ€˜zero dayโ€™ across our On Premise, Office 365 and Azure Estates. We require a solution that detects anomalies based on assessing normal behaviour and can automatically shut down an attack while allowing normal behaviour to continue uninterrupted. The solution must be able to contain a threat/attack by itself and also by integration into third party solutions such as anti virus and firewalls. The solution must operate using multiple forms of Artificial Intelligence (unsupervised Machine Learning, Supervised Machine Learning and Deep Learning). The solution must provide a single pane of glass view for all components, incorporating On Premise, Email, Office 365 and Azure environments into a single dashboard.
