\u201cDefenders think in lists, attackers think in graphs.\u201d1<\/sup> This remains a reality for the many organizations that operate across siloed security tools, fueling the demand on security operations (SOC) teams, as advanced cyberattacks continue to increase in frequency and speed. That\u2019s where extended detection and response (XDR) solutions play a critical role in overcoming the silos and doing the work of correlating alerts across asset types to not only give defenders the ability to respond faster on their own, but even autonomously respond to some of the most sophisticated cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are excited to announce that Microsoft has been named a leader in The Forrester Wave: Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms, Q2, 2024<\/a>, with the highest scores in the strategy, current offering, and market presence categories. Microsoft Defender XDR was rated the highest possible in 15 out of 22 evaluation criteria, including Endpoint Native Detection, Surface Investigation, Threat Hunting, Analyst Experience, Vision, and Innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forrester states that \u201cMicrosoft is refining the most complete XDR offering in the market today<\/strong>,\u201d<\/strong> and called out \u201cits dedication to innovation is demonstrated by its percentage of the R&D budget by revenue, which rivals the most innovative vendors in security<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

We believe Forrester\u2019s recognition showcases that Microsoft Defender XDR<\/a> is the broadest native XDR solution on the market and that our most recent additions of Microsoft Defender for Cloud data and Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management data are critical to give the SOC access to end-to-end data. Its incident-level visibility, automatic attack disruption of advanced attacks, and accelerated detection and response now work across endpoints, Internet of Things (IoT), operational technology (OT), on-premises and cloud identities, email and collaboration tools, software as a service (SaaS) apps, cloud workloads, and data insights.<\/p>\n\n\n
