0:00Attacks cross tools

Attackers do not stay in one product. A single campaign crosses identities, devices, email and cloud services. Microsoft XDR is built for that.

0:12Extended detection

XDR means extended detection and response. Microsoft’s version connects signals across its tools, so one attack is detected, investigated and stopped together.

0:24Microsoft Defender

Microsoft Defender protects endpoints, identities, email and collaboration, cloud workloads and SaaS apps, and feeds what it sees into XDR.

0:35Microsoft Sentinel

Microsoft Sentinel, the cloud-native SIEM and SOAR, adds data from beyond Microsoft, long-term analytics, hunting and automated response.

0:46One incident

Instead of hundreds of separate alerts, related signals are grouped into a single incident, with one timeline and every affected user, device and resource.

0:57Contain it

From that incident, isolate a device, disable an account, block an indicator or quarantine an email, by hand or automatically through a playbook.

1:07Who it suits

It suits organisations that run on Microsoft 365 and Azure, use Entra ID, and want fewer tools and less alert noise.
