Kaspersky Private Security Network vs. Microsoft Defender XDR

It is very good at detecting fake sites or virus in external devices. Its Rescue Disc feature is great which cleans computers infected with malware, the secure browser and virtual keyboard. Further, it is very easy to use for a non-tech person also. Its quick scan is very handy and useful.

• I am a huge fan of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint within Microsoft 365 Defender. It is one of the most professional and reliable EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tool out there providing excellent features like vulnerability management, baseline assessments, device discovery etc.
• Microsoft Defender for Office365 (Email Security) is yet another class apart product in this Microsoft 365 Defenderr stack. It is one of the easiest to use tools among all the other Microsoft security products yet at the same time offers such a wide variety of features like threat policies (anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-phishing etc.), attack simulation, message trace etc.
• Incident Management is the main USP of Microsoft 365 Defender due to which it can actually be considered as a true XDR. The intuitive and user-friendly UI, the very useful attack story view, broad classifications, automated investigation etc. etc. etc.; the list of awesome features just goes on.

• Setting up Microsoft 365 Defender integration with other tools or platforms might be challenging and require technical know-how.
• Improving its third-party security tools integration and simplifying the setup process would offer a smoother experience for security teams.
• A simpler way to improve security operations is by having a more cohesive way of detecting and responding to threats across different security solutions.

We used the MS XDR as this is a bundle that we bought when we subscribed to the M365 platform, so having it was a bonus as we stated earlier, but due to limitation on licenses in Sentinelone, having this is just a blessing for us, so we can reduce around 200 licenses and can utilize it for other users

• Depending on the licensing you pay for, Defender is included and a great ROI cost wise
• In terms of time spent, Defender can be a large time suck but yield positive results for end users
• Generally, it pays to learn and train in Defender BEFORE there is a problem and you need to really use it.
