We know customers of every size face ever-increasing security risks. In just the last 12 months the speed of attackers leveraging breaches is also increasing, as it only takes 72 minutes on average for an attacker to access private data from the time a user falls victim to a phishing email.1<\/sup> Data breaches from insider threats have also risen 44 percent this last year.2<\/sup> Organizations need to be prepared to not only monitor their entire environment but have the experts in place to quickly analyze and respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historically, many customers begin their security journey focusing on endpoint security products. But in today\u2019s connected and dynamic world, organizations risk serious data breaches if they are not looking end-to-end. Specific pain points our customers often encounter include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft believes it\u2019s critical that customers not only have their environments well protected using Zero Trust<\/a> principles leveraging advanced security technologies but also have the expertise available to them to fully triage events and respond to incidents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cybersecurity is a team sport. Too often, organizations play it outnumbered and outsmarted by the attacker. When your security team is challenged by a sophisticated adversary, an MXDR service provider can bring the power of best-in-class technologies and security know-how to tip the scales in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most companies, cybersecurity is not their core business, and having the specialized resources to address these concerns can be a challenge. According to Gartner\u00ae<\/sup>, “by 2025, 60 percent of organizations will be actively using remote threat disruption and containment capabilities delivered directly by MDR providers, up from 30 percent today.”3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n A Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) service is an extension of your team, empowering you to have specialist resources available around the clock. Monitoring your environment and triaging incidents that need immediate attention in a timely manner is critical to maintaining a healthy security posture. In the event your organization is affected by a critical incident, you will want to ensure you have the resources to investigate the incident, correlate the threat data to determine the root cause, and implement step-by-step response actions to contain and remediate the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most customers rely on a trusted security provider in some capacity to help them on their security journey. To assist customers as they consider MXDR services to further protect their organization, Microsoft has provided our Microsoft Cloud Partner Program members a way to receive Microsoft-verified MXDR partner status. This status means Microsoft engineers have reviewed and audited a partner\u2019s MXDR solution to meet the highest industry standards of round-the-clock security including proactive threat hunting, investigation, response, and prevention services. This verification can help you identify potential service partners who can help you secure your users and multicloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft partners provide a full line of services and the ability to uniquely customize their offering to your needs. Service providers commonly protect across the breadth of your estate including Microsoft and other third-party security tools. Microsoft\u2019s partners also routinely provide customized service level agreements, data regulatory and industry specialization, and other specialized services aligned with the specific needs you may have, ranging from remotely managed supplementary services to your in-house team through full outsourcing services as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the previous 12 months, more than 40 partners in the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program with Security designations have now received this engineering verification. If you are considering adding MXDR services, Microsoft recommends reviewing one of Microsoft\u2019s verified MXDR service partners.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft is committed to ensuring customers have all the help they need. In addition to customizable partner offerings that work for the full range of global customer needs, for customers that require XDR products and managed services from a single platform provider, Microsoft is excited to announce the general availability of Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR<\/a>, a first-party MXDR offering that gives security teams air cover with leading end-to-end protection and expertise.
