Microsoft Defender XDR Monitoring
Expert deployment, tuning, and 24/7 monitoring of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Office 365, Identity, and Cloud Apps — with Sentinel integration for cross-signal correlation.
Defender XDR Components We Monitor
Unified XDR coverage across endpoint, email, identity, and cloud applications
Defender for Endpoint
EDR monitoring across Windows, macOS, and Linux — threat detection, isolation, and automated remediation for endpoint attacks
Defender for Office 365
Email threat protection — phishing, BEC, malware in attachments, and safe links enforcement across Microsoft 365
Defender for Identity
Active Directory and Entra ID threat detection — lateral movement, privilege escalation, and compromised credential alerts
Defender for Cloud Apps
Shadow IT discovery, OAuth app governance, and anomalous access detection across cloud applications
Microsoft Sentinel Integration
XDR signals fed into Sentinel for correlation with non-Microsoft log sources and advanced SIEM-level detection rules
Automated Response
Automated investigation and response (AIR) playbooks — contain compromised endpoints, reset passwords, block senders without analyst delay
Managed Defender XDR Services
Deployment & Configuration
Deploy and configure all Defender components with policies tuned to your environment — not out-of-the-box defaults
Advanced Hunting
Custom KQL hunting queries to proactively detect threats that automated rules miss — run on a regular cadence
Alert Triage
Analyst-led triage of Defender incidents and alerts — filter noise, escalate real threats, and close false positives
Monthly Reporting
Monthly report covering incident counts, endpoint compliance, email threat trends, and identity risk highlights
Why Unified XDR Matters
- Point products create alert silos — XDR correlates signals across endpoint, email, identity, and cloud in one incident view
- Defender for Identity catches credential-based attacks that EDR alone misses — lateral movement via pass-the-hash or Kerberoasting
- Automated investigation reduces mean time to respond — analyst reviews a correlated incident, not 50 separate alerts
- Native Microsoft integration means no data egress costs and tight policy enforcement through Conditional Access and Intune
- Sentinel integration extends XDR signals to cover non-Microsoft sources — firewalls, Linux servers, and third-party SaaS
