Open Systems, the only managed detection and response provider with Mission Control, announced it was an initial Microsoft Design Partner invited to collaborate on the development of Microsoft Security Experts, an expansion of Microsoft’s existing portfolio and a new set of managed threat hunting and response security service offerings launched today.
Microsoft Security Experts is the latest set of Microsoft security offerings the Open Systems MDR+ service can extend and augment for the benefit of customers. Open Systems’ MDR+ platform empowers organizations to mitigate both threats and risks by leveraging the Microsoft security tool stack as a multi-cloud, multi-device control plane. The MDR+ approach is unique in that it combines deep Microsoft expertise with deep insights into customers’ assets, architecture, and operational workflows, including the constraints that often inhibit the operationalization of security. This localized perspective enables MDR+ to make tailored response decisions to minimize business disruption and effectively prioritize risk based on a customer’s unique environment. Customers who choose to use both Microsoft Security Experts and Open Systems MDR+ get the benefit of Microsoft’s standardized threat detection and alert triage augmented with 24×7 tailored protection and localized response delivered by MDR+.
