Red Canary Helps Company Succeed with Microsoft Defender Migration

The company has successfully migrated to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, thanks in part to Red Canary's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. The team made the switch from their existing EDR vendor after determining that Defender was superior technology, easier to deploy and manage, and provided a single system to learn and administer.

The company has been using Microsoft services like Office 365 and Teams for years and recently upgraded to an E5 license to take advantage of Defender's security tools. They plan to swap out their antivirus tool, SIEM, and vulnerability management solutions with Microsoft security solutions in the future.

Behind the scenes, Red Canary is providing technical support and strategic threat landscape guidance to ensure a smooth transition. The company's CTO praises Red Canary's vendor-neutral approach, saying 'Red Canary is our SOC today,' and that their service has been invaluable both technically and strategically.
