Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) was launched in 2015 to protect organizations from identity-based attacks in on-premises environments. While it has been receiving several updates over the years, the nature and requirements of security have changed as the sophistication, frequency, and severity of cyber-attacks continue to increase. Consequently, Microsoft ended the mainstream support for the service on January 12, 2021, but will continue to provide Extended Support till January 2026. Microsoft has replaced Azure Advanced Threat Protection with Microsoft Defender for Identity for identifying, detecting and investigating advanced threats, compromised identities, and malicious insider actions. In this article, we will focus on Advanced Threat Analytics to Microsoft Defender for Identity migration.<\/p>\n
