Why move to a unified security operations platform?
By bringing together our extended detection and response (XDR) and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions in a single, unified security operations platform, security teams get a true end-to-end experience for detecting, investigating, responding to, and protecting against cyberthreats. Now, there’s no need to have disparate tools with duplicate capabilities—the full power of XDR and SIEM backed by Microsoft AI and threat intelligence is built into a single platform.
Supercharge your cyberthreat protection with a unified platform
Our security operations platform breaks down security silos and enables security teams to detect
and disrupt cyberthreats in near real time, streamline investigation and response,
and provide guided recommendations to help prevent repeat and future cyberattacks.
Manage your defenses from a single place
Work from a unified incident queue, making triage and prioritization more straightforward. Investigate incidents without needing to switch portals with a single entity map. Hunt for cyberthreats by building playbooks, or ask Microsoft Security Copilot for help translating natural language into KQL. Disrupt cyberattacks beyond Microsoft XDR workloads—now including some business applications.
Microsoft Defender XDR
Build powerful protection with unified visibility, investigation, and response across all end-user assets and cloud infrastructures with a native XDR platform. Microsoft Defender XDR improves response effectiveness, stops lateral movements, and unifies security and identity access management, to help you protect your organization more effectively.
Microsoft Sentinel
Detect breaches and anomalies, investigate cyberthreats, and remediate issues across all your security data sources. Microsoft Sentinel is natively integrated with Microsoft Defender XDR, providing increased context and single-click remediation using built-in automation.
