Rapid7’s Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) adds coverage for Microsoft Security Telemetry

BOSTON, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat detection, today announced the expansion of its Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) service to deliver continuous threat detection, investigation, and response across core Microsoft security tools. The newly enhanced service leverages organizations' existing Microsoft telemetry, integrating it into Rapid7's Command Platform for broader, faster threat detection and remediation, by the Rapid7 security operations center (SOC), without additional infrastructure or complex integration requirements.

Microsoft tools are a foundational component within many organizations’ tech stacks -with over 25% of endpoint security market share, according to IDC. The expansion of Rapid7’s MXDR offering addresses security teams' growing need for a fully integrated SOC service that spans the breadth of these Microsoft security tools plus has visibility across endpoints, cloud service providers, identity and access management, and network security solutions.

“With Rapid7 MXDR support for Microsoft, organizations of every size can now harness the best of both worlds: the familiarity and depth of their Microsoft environment and the advanced detection, correlation, automation, and forensic response capabilities of Rapid7’s MXDR service,” said Craig Adams, chief product officer at Rapid7. “This helps security teams achieve 24x7 comprehensive Microsoft coverage throughout their tool stack - a key piece in empowering them to manage, prioritize, and respond to risk across their entire attack surface.”

Through direct connections to essential Microsoft event sources, including Microsoft 365, Defender for Cloud, Defender for Endpoint, and Entra Identity Protection, Rapid7 MXDR provides:

  • Comprehensive Threat Visibility: By incorporating data from both Rapid7 native and existing Microsoft telemetry, Rapid7 MXDR eliminates blind spots and enables rapid response across an organization’s digital ecosystem.
  • Accelerated Response: With Rapid7’s SOC responding to and containing threats across the Microsoft environment, organizations benefit from reduced detection and remediation times, preventing adversaries from causing operational, financial, or reputational harm.
  • Enhanced Customization: MXDR support for Microsoft allows organizations to customize their protection coverage, seamlessly layering Rapid7’s advanced detection capabilities on top of Microsoft’s telemetry, creating an adaptable security solution tailored to each customer’s environment.
