Inforcer, a provider of Microsoft 365 multi-tenant management software for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), has introduced a new capability called Threat Detection and Response. The solution is designed to help MSPs identify threats, contain security incidents, and support recovery efforts, combining preventative and reactive security functions.
Over the past three years, inforcer has expanded its presence in Microsoft 365 tenant security management for MSPs, supporting more than 1,200 MSP partners in managing and securing Microsoft 365 environments at scale. The introduction of Threat Detection and Response represents an extension of its platform into what is often described as “right-of-boom” security, alongside its existing focus on preventative or “left-of-boom” controls.
The platform aims to provide MSPs with a unified Microsoft 365 management layer intended to support both security prevention and incident response. It includes capabilities for real-time detection and incident handling to help address potential breaches and reduce their impact.
The development comes in the context of increasing reliance on MSPs to manage security across distributed and remote working environments, where threats can originate from multiple regions. In these environments, attackers may remain undetected within systems for extended periods before launching further activity.
While preventative security measures remain a core requirement, MSPs also use detection and response tools to demonstrate security outcomes to clients and support incident handling processes. The addition of response capabilities is positioned as a way to combine these aspects within a single operational framework.
Inforcer’s platform is intended to give MSPs a consolidated view of Microsoft 365 tenant activity. It aggregates signals from multiple Microsoft services, including Entra, Defender, Purview, Teams, and SharePoint.
This approach is intended to provide broader visibility into tenant activity and support contextual analysis of events, with the aim of reducing false positives and limiting unnecessary alerts while improving incident investigation.
