Expanded integration increases availability of advanced security services for organizations leveraging Microsoft’s security portfolio
Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group, announced the integration of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with the company’s leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, delivered through its Cyber Fusion Center operating from Switzerland and the United States.
Kudelski Security’s latest collaboration with Microsoft enables Kudelski Security to natively ingest endpoint data from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint-protected devices to actively monitor environments, proactively hunt for new threats and more rapidly initiate remediation actions should a breach occur. This new capacity to integrate with Microsoft endpoint security products follows the recent launch of Kudelski Security’s FusionDetect™, a cloud native platform that supports MDR services across IT, OT, and cloud environments.

Kudelski Security’s expanded support for Microsoft products builds on previously announced integrations with Microsoft Azure services, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Azure Defender, as well as a Microsoft-focused consultancy designed to help Microsoft clients optimize security in a cloud environment.
