Microsoft MXDR is managed extended detection and response for Microsoft security environments. A specialized provider like Apsispoint runs Microsoft Defender XDR (and optionally Microsoft Sentinel) as a 24/7 service — monitoring alerts, hunting threats, and executing response actions across endpoint, email, identity, and cloud apps — so you get enterprise-grade detection and response from the Microsoft licenses you already own, without building an in-house SOC.

A complete Microsoft MXDR service includes 24/7 monitoring of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Office 365, Identity, and Cloud Apps; expert alert triage and investigation; proactive threat hunting; custom detection rules tuned to your environment; automated and analyst-led response (isolating devices, blocking entities, suspending credentials); licensing optimization so you use everything your E5 or E5 Security plan includes; and regular reporting with service reviews.

A Microsoft MXDR partner operates your Microsoft security stack as a 24/7 managed service. Apsispoint deploys and tunes Microsoft Defender XDR, monitors and triages every alert, hunts threats proactively, executes response actions, and optimizes your licensing — so you get the outcomes of a mature SOC without building one. Unlike Microsoft's own managed offering, a partner also covers your non-Microsoft estate and provides an independent layer of accountability.

Yes. While this service is built around Microsoft Defender XDR, our managed XDR security services extend across your whole environment — AWS and GCP workloads, network and firewall infrastructure, email security platforms, and third-party tools — through the same 24/7 SOC. One partner, one service, full-estate coverage.

Microsoft Defender XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is a unified security platform that provides integrated protection across endpoints, email, identity, and cloud apps. Unlike traditional siloed tools, XDR correlates signals across all attack surfaces to detect and stop sophisticated multi-stage attacks automatically.

Microsoft Defender XDR requires Microsoft 365 E5, E5 Security, or standalone Defender licenses. We can help you optimize your licensing to get maximum value. Many organizations already have partial coverage through E3 or Business Premium licenses that can be upgraded.

While Microsoft provides the technology, we provide 24/7 expert monitoring, threat hunting, custom detection rules, incident response, and optimization. We maximize the platform's capabilities with our security expertise, reducing false positives and ensuring critical threats don't go unnoticed.

Yes, we integrate Microsoft Defender XDR with your existing security stack through APIs, SIEM connectors, and our custom integration platform. This creates a unified view across all your security tools while leveraging Defender's native capabilities.

Basic deployment can be completed in 1-2 weeks for organizations with existing Microsoft 365. Full optimization including custom detections, playbooks, and integrations typically takes 4-6 weeks. We provide immediate value with phased rollout to minimize disruption.
