Vulcan Cyber, developers of a cyber risk management platform for infrastructure, application and cloud security, has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers that have integrated their solutions to defend against modern threats.
The Vulcan Cyber platform integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, bringing the advantages of the Vulcan Cyber risk management platform to a wider set of customers.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise endpoint security platform designed to help enterprise networks prevent, detect, investigate and respond to advanced threats, delivering preventative protection, post-breach detection and automated investigation and response.
MISA, a nomination-only association, offers resources for partners to enrich security products, execute go-to-market strategies, connect with customers and more. The Vulcan Cyber MISA membership and integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint will allow customers to combine the Microsoft detection and remediation capabilities with the Vulcan Cyber risk management platform to deliver the capacity to measure, manage and mitigate cyber risk end-to-end.
Vulcan Cyber integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint threat and vulnerability management and ingests vulnerability findings from the service to deliver a consolidated, automatically prioritized view into actual risk contextualized for each organization as well as remediation tools to fix vulnerabilities. With this data, the Vulcan Cyber risk management platform can coordinate actionable mitigation campaigns, alongside campaigns for any other IT, application, or cloud surface. Security teams then can assess risk and prioritize vulnerabilities more-effectively, automatically collaborate with any other department to create remediation campaigns by business-group risk, and deploy orchestration playbooks based on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint findings.
Key benefits of the integration include:
- Vulnerability and cyber risk consolidation to reduce the noise and pinpoint and understand where an actual risk exists
- Automated vulnerability and risk prioritization and scoring using accurate and contextual cyber insights from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
- Better collaboration among departments to break down operating silos and reduce mean time to resolution via automated communication
- Comprehensive tracking and reporting for compliance, internal auditing, board reporting and other activities
In addition to its integrations with security solutions like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, the Vulcan Cyber risk management platform integrates with and orchestrates tools that security teams use for IT, cloud and application security including scanners, asset management, communication and collaboration, ITSM, patch and configuration management, and DevOps.
