Leading MTSP Explains Why AI Behavior-Based Cybersecurity Outperforms Traditional Systems
CONCORD, CA - ATS , a leading Managed Technology Services Provider (MTSP), announced today that it is now deploying new AI cybersecurity technology to help organizations prevent cyberattacks where threats are harder to spot, especially within platforms like Microsoft 365. For years, organizations have relied on location-based alerts to catch hackers’ suspicious logins. If someone logged in from another country, it raised an obvious red flag. Hackers have evolved and so must the security protocols used by small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and nonprofit organizations.
Today’s cyber attackers can easily rent local internet addresses, making it look like they’re logging in from nearby – even if they are halfway across the world. Hackers can now appear as if they are working right down the street, which creates a silent threat vector. This means that many cyberattacks no longer look suspicious to most cybersecurity technology. Of course, once inside a Microsoft 365 account, attackers can continue to move quietly – reading emails, setting up forwarding rules, or impersonating employees – without triggering traditional alerts. This leaves organizations facing two major issues: 1) Too many false alarms and 2) Real threats go unnoticed until it’s too late.
Since attackers are no longer operating from obvious foreign locations and are instead leveraging residential proxy networks, they appear as if they are logging in from the same city as their target. “As attackers evolve, the signals we used to trust, like location, are becoming unreliable,” said Sanford Gladding, President of ATS. “A login from across the world used to be a red flag. Now it can look completely normal. At ATS, we are constantly evaluating sophisticated, cutting-edge AI technology and the latest in security protocols to protect our customers.”
