Microsoft Defender ATP service architecture and how we integrate with other products

Every customer has their own Microsoft Defender ATP tenant in the cloud, separated from other customers.

All Microsoft Defender ATP behaviors & security events are collected and sent to the customer tenant.

Those events are being used for:

  • Visibility, and Reporting
  • Investigation, and threat hunting
  • Automated investigation & response
  • Event correlation, and detections
  • Prioritized Threat & Vulnerability management
  • Signal exchange with other Microsoft Threat Protection services

Each tenant comes with

  • A single console for Security Operations: the Microsoft Defender Security Center
  • A new management dashboard for Security Admins: The M365 Security and Compliance Center
  • Reports
  • Comprehensive toolset for SecOps
  • A rich behavioral IOAs dictionary
  • A sandbox environment for deep file analysis

We provide rich APIs to allow customers integrate with their existing security solutions, such as SIEM, Ticketing systems, upload their own custom TI, or other partner solutions.

Our managed threat hunting service, Microsoft Threat Experts, monitors and hunts over de-identified data.

Microsoft Defender ATP offers out of the box integration with Azure AD, Azure ATP, Azure Security Center, Azure Information Protection,  Microsoft Cloud App Security, Microsoft Intune, and Office 365 ATP.
