Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender XDR

With varying tools across different vendors and on systems that utilize the Windows operating system , often its difficult to patch them separately always and also manage them with different consoles. The tool choice was to have a unified platform that supports both the OS and other updates.

Pros

  • email threat scanner
  • scanner for end point
  • identity management

Cons

  • The desktop endpoint scanner
  • email threat scanner
  • cloud apps
  • The tool is fully integrated into the windows platform.
  • Its fully integrated part of our office 365 subscription and does not need additional tools
  • The tool has saved a lot f time in terms of pushing updates to different category of machines managed by the organization.
Some times we have lot of users complaining that certain applications automatically gets blocked even if they are signed certificates or added to the filters of the exclusion on the app level or policy level . They have to be manually be removed.
They have one thing less to worry that they are to certain point protected specially with phishing emails or tools that are downloaded are safe.
The policy is set to inform the internal adimistrator on such responses and the cyber security team within the organizatio handle it
Yes , the platform is connected to Microsoft Sentinel as part of the SIEM services that are managed by our organization. The connection is really simple and seemless as they are same company tools
The integration into our office suite and email system is really a breeze with the Microsoft 365 Defender

Using Microsoft Defender XDR

2000 - They are part of the HR and the procurement
20 - THey are Cyber security experts who also support other security products in the tool set along with the defender and other tools. They are Level1 and Level 2 support specialists.

  • analytics and prevention
  • PHising emails detection
  • identifying ransomware via honeypot
  • Intrusion detection
  • penetration testing
  • Security testing options
  • Provide a joint offering in the area of cyber security
All though most of the features are upto mark, there are certain times where there have been misses to detect spam, phising emails. this might be due to the subject and content of the email being more sophisticated than standard .

Evaluating Microsoft Defender XDR and Competitors

Yes - crowdstrike
  • Cloud Solutions

None , the selection process was quite compelx , however due to the integration of other microsoft products are much easier , this decision was in line with the roadmap
