REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ontinue, a leading provider of AI-powered extended managed detection and response (MXDR) services and winner of the 2023 Microsoft Security Services Innovator of the Year award, and its partner AVANT, a premier technology distributor and channel sales enablement company, have strengthened the cybersecurity protections of several joint customers by maximizing their existing Microsoft 365 Defender investments with the Ontinue ION MXDR service. Together, they provide a tailored security service that combines AI and human intelligence to address customers' most urgent security issues while reducing their total cost of ownership.

Key Points: 
  • Despite increasing vulnerabilities caused by digital transformation efforts, many organizations underutilize the extensive security capabilities of their Microsoft 365 Defender investments, instead engaging with MSSPs and MXDR providers.
  • However, the majority of providers use too many toolsets and do not effectively employ AI to gain a meaningful understanding of their customers.
  • Ontinue ION MXDR overcomes these issues by optimizing Microsoft 365 Defender, leveraging Microsoft security and collaboration portfolios, and uniquely combining AI and human intelligence.
  • Ontinue ION sets new standards for MXDR services.
