How can the integration of Microsoft Defender for Identity with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint help in responding to Pass-The-Hash attacks?

The integration of Microsoft Defender for Identity with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint plays a crucial role in responding to Pass-The-Hash (PtH) attacks by providing detailed timelines and event sequences that led to the compromise.

When addressing security incidents, understanding the sequence of events and how an attack unfolded is vital for effective incident response. With the combination of data from both security solutions, analysts can trace back the events that occurred prior to the attack, identify the methods used by the attackers, and ascertain how credentials were compromised. This thorough investigation helps security teams develop a clearer picture of the attack vector, the systems involved, and the timeline of the attack, which is critical for formulating a response strategy.

The other options, while potentially useful security measures, do not directly relate to the specific capability of integration to aid in analyzing the attack. Timelines and event sequences directly support forensic analysis and the remediation process, which is essential for responding to PtH attacks effectively.
