Uncovering Hidden Trackers with the Defender EASM UI – Part 1: A Guide to Securing Your Data

Uncovering Trackers Using the Microsoft Defender EASM UI
Introduction
The Microsoft Defender EASM (Enterprise Application Security Management) UI is a powerful tool for security professionals to quickly identify and address potential threats in their environment. In this blog post, we will explore how to use the EASM UI to uncover trackers and malicious actors on a network. We will also discuss how to properly respond to those threats.

What are Trackers?
Trackers are small pieces of software that collect data about a user and their activities. They are often embedded in websites and applications, and can be used to monitor user behavior and track user activities. Trackers can be used to create detailed profiles of users, which can be used for targeted advertising or other malicious purposes. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the presence of trackers in a user’s environment.

Using the Microsoft Defender EASM UI to Uncover Trackers
The Microsoft Defender EASM UI is a powerful tool for discovering trackers on a network. It can be used to quickly scan a network for trackers and malicious actors. The UI has several features that make it easy to uncover trackers, including the following:

* Real-time Scanning – The EASM UI can be used to scan a network in real-time, allowing administrators to quickly identify potential threats.
* Threat Identification – The EASM UI can also be used to identify which threats are present on a network. This can help administrators to quickly identify which trackers are present and take action accordingly.
* Actionable Intelligence – The EASM UI provides actionable intelligence to administrators, allowing them to respond to threats in a timely manner.

Responding to Trackers
Once trackers have been identified, it is important to take action to address the threat. The following steps can be taken to mitigate the risk posed by trackers:

* Remove Trackers – The first step is to remove any trackers that have been identified. Depending on the type of tracker, this can be done by deleting the software or disabling the feature in the user’s browser.
* Monitor Network Traffic – It is important to monitor network traffic to identify any suspicious activity that may be related to trackers. This can be done using the EASM UI or other monitoring tools.
* Block Trackers – Administrators can use the EASM UI to block trackers from accessing the network. This can help to protect the network from further attacks.

Conclusion
The Microsoft Defender EASM UI is a powerful tool for uncovering trackers and malicious actors on a network. It can be used to quickly identify potential threats and take action to mitigate the risk posed by them. By using the EASM UI, security professionals can keep their networks safe and secure.
