Expanded integration increases the availability of advanced security services for organisations 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 Centre.
Kudelski Security’s latest collaboration with Microsoft enables Kudelski Security to natively ingest endpoint data from Microsoft Defender for endpoint-protected devices to monitor environments actively, 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 optimise security in a cloud environment.

“In 2020 alone, the Microsoft Defender for endpoint solution blocked nearly six billion malware threats on endpoints it protected,” said Alton Kizziah, VP of strategy at Kudelski Security. “This increasing volume, combined with the continued public success of ransomware attacks, emphasises the fact that organisations need complete threat visibility to detect, block, and respond to cyber-attacks rapidly.”
“Our integration of Microsoft Defender for endpoint expands our MDR efficiency and offers Microsoft security clients a proven service that improves their security posture while maximising the effectiveness of their investments in Microsoft security technologies,” Kizziah continued.
With market-leading security services and proven support for the Microsoft security ecosystem, Kudelski Security is uniquely positioned to help modern enterprises embrace new security models born in the cloud. In addition to its 24/7 Managed Detection and Response Services, Kudelski Security helps clients apply zero trust models and provides data protection capabilities for their Microsoft environments to secure identities, data, endpoints, apps, and infrastructure.
“In today’s environment of increasingly sophisticated threats, our mutual clients rely on companies like Kudelski Security and their proactive solutions that include Microsoft Defender for endpoint, to help protect their enterprise systems and environments,” said Zach Howes, Group Project Manager at Microsoft.
