Hot Take:

Microsoft has introduced a new "contain user" tool in Defender for Endpoint (DoE) which is basically the bouncer at your IT club, kicking out suspicious individuals before they can cause a scene. Forget about the bouncer, this is the whole SWAT team, locking down compromised user accounts and cutting off their communication. It’s like turning the bad guy's walkie-talkie off in an action film - leaving them with no backup plan or exit strategy!
