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.
