Vectra AI, a pioneer in threat detection and response announced that it has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). MISA is an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers currently spearheading enterprise defence against the latest cyber threats.
Vectra was nominated to MISA for integrating its Cognito platform with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Azure Sentinel to better serve an organisation’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) by reducing workload and amplifying accurate threat response.

Through this collaboration with Microsoft, joint customers benefit from well-coordinated responses which allow customers to block and isolate attackers rather than resources, while also reducing attacker dwell times that drive risk for the business.
