Microsoft is expanding its security services with the launch of “Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR” (Extended Detection and Response), currently in preview. This new managed service is a significant addition for organizations with constrained security operations centers. It addresses the challenges of overwhelming alert volumes and the need for skilled security experts. Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR provides comprehensive security operations capabilities, including monitoring, investigation, and response to security alerts. This service also incorporates the proactive threat hunting features of the recently launched “Defender Experts for Hunting” service. Microsoft continues to invest in and support its partner ecosystem, recognizing that customers have diverse security needs. The recently introduced verified MXDR (Managed XDR) partner status is a testament to this commitment, certifying partners’ SOC capabilities and their integration with Microsoft products. This collaboration is vital in expanding managed service offerings to meet the increasing demand for such services in cybersecurity.
