Persistent Adversary Detection Service (PADS)
Microsoft Threat Detection Service (MTDS)
Microsoft offers the PADS service to proactively determine whether a system is under
threat via a discreet incident response prior to an actual emergency and examines high
value assets or a sample of systems for signs of advanced implants not typically found by
commodity anti-virus or intrusion detection system technologies.
Allows customers to detect errors and report them to check for malicious activity both in a
hosted or On Premises solution. It also helps in deriving intelligence from the error reports
to regulate and manage errors efficiently.
Incident Response and Recovery (IR&R)
Respond
Microsoft offers the IR&R service to determine whether a system is under targeted exploitation via a discreet incident response engagement that examines high value assets or exploited
systems for signs of advanced implants not typically found by commodity anti-virus or intrusion detection system technologies.
