A prominent home, auto and life insurance provider with over 25,000 employees across the U.S. had combined a security information and event management (SIEM) platform and various other cybersecurity solutions to protect their Microsoft E3 environment. However, that patchwork of aging workers’ solutions became inadequate and difficult to manage due to rapid growth and workers’ growing reliance on mobile devices.

To enhance protection against evolving threats, contain costs and decrease the workload for in-house IT staff, the insurer upgraded to Microsoft E5 and implemented an offering in our portfolio: managed extended detection and response (MXDR) for Microsoft. Instead of an assortment of separate security products, the organization is now safeguarded entirely by Microsoft, including Sentinel and Defender XDR for endpoints, cloud applications, identity, and Office 365.

With the new solution, the insurance provider has an excellent security posture via one cost-effective, consolidated platform, which is completely managed and maintained by external Microsoft experts. Their internal IT department now has more time to focus on other priorities.

If you’re searching for a convenient and affordable way to effectively protect your Microsoft environment, you should consider the same MXDR offering. Here are some vital details to consider before you decide.
