Microsoft 365 E5 Security suite is now available as an add-on for Microsoft 365 Business Premium customers

May 2025

Many business owners believe that only large companies are targeted by cyberattacks, but small and medium-sized businesses are much more likely to fall victim to malware or phishing attacks. Cybercriminals see smaller companies as easier targets because many of them simply do not have enough resources to ensure robust protection of their IT infrastructure. A successful cyberattack can cause such companies significant financial losses, reputational risks and even lead to the suspension of further business operations.

That’s why the best way for small and medium-sized companies to protect their data is to migrate their business processes to the cloud using platforms like Microsoft 365. At an affordable price through a monthly or annual subscription for the selected license type, Microsoft 365 services provide tools for secure work, reliable data storage and safe information sharing.

Understanding the importance of information security and the limited financial capabilities of small companies, Microsoft now provides Microsoft 365 Business Premium license users with access to best-in-class security tools previously available only to customers of the most expensive Microsoft 365 license for large enterprises – Microsoft 365 E5.

By purchasing the Microsoft 365 E5 Security add-on, Microsoft 365 Business Premium users will gain significantly enhanced security features, including apps like Microsoft Entra ID Plan 2, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.

Microsoft Entra ID P2 offers advanced security and account management features. The application automatically detects and blocks risky sign-in attempts with user behavioral analytics and alerts about suspicious activities, such as efforts to gain access through mass password guessing, enabling a quick response to threats. Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is a tool designed to protect cloud applications. The solution helps defend against sophisticated SaaS-based and OAuth attacks, gives IT specialists full visibility into the landscape of the applications in use and provides recommendations for eliminating vulnerabilities in the event of cyber threats.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 P2 provides small and medium-sized businesses with a secure and controlled environment for simulating real-world cyberattacks, helping to train employees to recognize phishing attempts. Microsoft Defender for Identity detects identity-related cyberthreats in real time using built-in alerts and recognizes both common and emerging types of attacks.

As a trusted Microsoft partner, Innoware is authorized to sell licenses of the Microsoft 365 cloud platform and offers a 10% discount on the purchase of a Microsoft 365 Business Premium license with the Microsoft 365 E5 Security suite for new orders.
