Microsoft Defender is xz.
As they announced here Defender now comes as part of a new unified security operations platform.
This is one of the first security operations center platforms that brings together the full capabilities of an industry-leading cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM), comprehensive extended detection and response (XDR), and generative AI built specifically for cybersecurity.
Microsoft Sentinel serves as the central nerve center of this integrated platform. It is a cloud-native SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution that aggregates security data from various sources, including networks, endpoints, and applications. Sentinel uses advanced analytics and threat intelligence to detect and respond to threats in real-time.
This powerful combination of capabilities delivers a truly unified analyst experience in the security operations center (SOC):
- Manage SIEM, XDR, and threat intelligence from one place with new updates in the Microsoft Defender portal.
- Interact with all of your security data using generative AI with Microsoft Copilot for Security.
- View incidents across your digital estate—whether they’re related to endpoints, SaaS services, your network in the cloud or on prem.
This unified approach eliminates the inefficiency of SOC teams having to switch between multiple systems and manually piece together incident details, while maintaining all the current functionalities of each connected service.
Generative AI plays a pivotal role in augmenting the capabilities of Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR. By harnessing the power of machine learning and automation, Generative AI can proactively identify emerging threats, analyze patterns, and recommend optimized response strategies. This technology empowers security teams to stay ahead of adversaries and mitigate risks effectively.
By uniting Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Generative AI in a single platform, Microsoft empowers organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity posture and defend against sophisticated threats effectively. This integrated approach reflects Microsoft’s commitment to innovation and security excellence in the digital age.
In this video Rob Lefferts joins Jeremy Chapman to discuss how the Defender experience has evolved into a unified security operations platform that combines threat detection, prevention, investigation, and response.
