Let’s face it, cybersecurity is a beast. In addition to endless threats, the list of security technologies you need keeps growing (as well as the number of alerts). In an attempt to simplify and keep costs down, many companies are consolidating their security tools and tech stack around big platforms like Microsoft. You may also be looking into managed detection and response (MDR) to help protect these new investments.
But here’s the thing: choosing the right MDR provider can be tricky. You need a partner that plays well with your existing tools, and doesn’t force you into implementing new agents or technologies, but can also keep up with your constantly expanding (or changing) tech stack.
You’re in luck. Expel MDR works seamlessly with your Microsoft environment, enhancing your security and helping you respond to those threats faster. Whether you’re using Microsoft E3 or E5 (or something else Microsoft), we’ve got you covered.

Here’s what one of our customers has to say:
“Folding our SIEM into Expel Workbench gives us a more comprehensive view of our Microsoft 365, Defender, and Azure Active Directory ID security events and alerts. Together, they enable faster and more accurate incident response. And with more streamlined workflows and less manual effort, we gain back valuable time to address other security needs.” Lewis McIntyre, Director of Cybersecurity and Incident Response, Markel
