Microsoft 365 Defender
Training: Microsoft Design Bootcamp Year: 2021
As part of the Bootcamp, we were tasked with redesigning parts of Microsoft 365 Defender. The Microsoft 365 Security Center provides protection, detection, investigation, and response capabilities for email, collaboration, identity, and device threats. It integrates functionalities from various existing Microsoft security portals. This was a personal exercise, and the redesign focused on addressing real user challenges.
