eSentire,
a leading global Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, announced
that it has integrated its MDR services with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint,
and it has joined the Microsoft
Intelligent Security Association (MISA).
The
combined eSentire MDR with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint solution is now
available to all eSentire partners, customers, and Microsoft users.
Additionally, eSentire is integrating its MDR services with other Microsoft 365
Defender products including Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Cloud
Application Security, and Microsoft Defender for Identity. These integrations
will be made available throughout 2021.
Today's
launch builds upon eSentire's Cloud Automation Security Assistant (CASA)
solution, which was unveiled in October 2020. CASA is an automated detection
and response solution, powered by eSentire's Atlas Extended Detection and
Response (XDR) cloud platform. The Atlas XDR platform is the foundation for all
eSentire's multi-signal MDR services. As with CASA, the Atlas XDR platform
simplifies and automates the deployment of the eSentire MDR for Microsoft
Defender for Endpoint. The service can be up and running in a customer's
environment in under one hour.
eSentire's
MDR Services consist of the patented, multi-signal correlation capabilities of
the Atlas XDR platform and the company's 24x7 threat monitoring, real-time
cyber hunting, and remote threat response capability. With the integration of
the eSentire MDR service and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, organizations can
use their existing investment in the Microsoft ecosystem. The eSentire MDR for
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a comprehensive solution that is simple to
use, cost effective and delivers the outcomes organizations need to stop cyber
attackers in their tracks.
"The
proliferation of sprawling IT environments and users, interacting with data
residing on physical and virtual endpoints, has created very complex IT
ecosystems. As a result, it is very challenging for organizations to protect
their data and their applications against threats, especially when attempting
to do it all in-house," says Dustin Hillard, Chief Technology Officer for
eSentire. "We are bringing industry-leading managed detection and response
capabilities to organizations that have already made a significant investment
in the Microsoft ecosystem. As a result, these companies can further enhance
their protection and increase the ROI from tools they are already licensing.
For organizations wanting to maximize investment and time-to-value, the
eSentire approach enables the detection and response to threats in minutes, not
hours or days, which is critical to the health of a business' operation."
Hillard
continued, "eSentire's future MDR service integrations, which already exist for
our CASA solution, will enable eSentire's MDR service to respond at all key
control points within an organization, enabling the containment of any
malicious activity no matter where it is located within a customer's
environment. We act on our customers' behalf, responding to threats in seconds
and containing them in minutes. The combination of all these services gives our
security analysts invaluable context about the cyberthreats we are detecting
and protecting our customers from. This collective intelligence helps us make
the right decision at the right time when responding within the Microsoft
ecosystem."
eSentire Joins the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association
(MISA)
eSentire
also announced today that it has joined the Microsoft
Intelligent Security Association (MISA), an ecosystem of independent software vendors that have
come together to integrate their solutions with Microsoft security products to
better protect customers against growing security threats.
"As a new member of the by-invitation-only Microsoft Intelligent
Security Association, eSentire's MDR expertise maximizes how Microsoft
customers benefit from end-to-end protection for their environments," said Rob
Lefferts, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365 security. "The expertise
eSentire brings to the table helps us deliver streamlined and consistent
protection to our customers with critical security needs."
As
organizations face a constant stream of cyberthreats from nation states and
for-profit threat actors, they simultaneously find themselves challenged to
find enough cybersecurity talent to fill crucial internal security roles. eSentire takes on that
burden for organizations, stopping breaches, containing threats, and minimizing
business risk. eSentire's MDR services provide customers with around-the-clock,
proactive threat hunting across their networks, endpoints, cloud, and hybrid
environments, eliminating blind spots traditional technologies miss and
safeguarding all aspects of their business.
