Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender XDR

Microsoft Defender XDR is mainly responsible for the detection and handling of Phishing related emails. Microsoft Defender XDR is also responsible for the detection of anomalous user logins. We basically use this tool for the monitoring of user activities. It is also useful in identifying registered devices for a user and is a big help during our investigations.
  • Phishing email detection
  • Detection of anomalous login activities
  • Asset inventory
  • Easy deployment of policies
  • Although it does detect phishing emails, there are still some flaws in the detection. Some malicious emails are getting delivered to a user’s inbox and some are getting quarantined. In my experience, there are som inconsistencies but overall it is a great tool.
  • Microsoft Defender XDR has been a great help when it comes to preventing targeted phishing in our organization.
Visibility. Everything just comes to that. We all know you can’t protect what you don’t know.
Currently, we are not making use of this functionality as we are still on the development stages in using this.
Possibly in the future but for now we are still trying things that would work for us the best.
As far as I know yes we were able to connect Microsoft Defender XDR on our SIEM platform.
