Microsoft announced the Microsoft Security Experts service via an official blog post, highlighting the fact that the global cost of cybercrimes is expected to increase from $6.5 trillion per annum in 2021 to $10.5 trillion per annum in 2025.
This Microsoft Security Expert solution is designed for companies and organizations that already have a robust security system installed but require Microsoft’s help to actively detect threats and provide solutions for tackling them. With Defender Experts for hunting, Microsoft will offer expert security professionals to “investigate anything they find and then hand off the contextual alert information and remediation instructions” to the clients.
Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR
This plan is designed to provide security operations centers to client companies and enterprises. The XDR moniker stands for extended detection and response, and the solution uses both technological and human expertise to provide relevant responses to client issues.
This security solution is a combination of both the above solutions. It provides proactive threat hunting and managed XDR to help organizations achieve their security goals and protect their systems from malicious attacks and ransomware programs.
