By launchingWindows Defender Advanced Threat Protectionlast year, Microsoft gave enterprise customers a new tool that can detect, investigate, and respond to advanced attacks on their networks. The upcoming Fall Creators Update will further improve Windows Defender ATP withnew prevention capabilities, but Microsoft’srecent acquisition of security automation company Hexaditewill add another much important brick to the wall.

“We are happy to announce we have successfully integrated Hexadite’s innovative security automation technology into Windows Defender ATP,” Microsoftannouncedtoday. “This enables Windows Defender ATP customers to leverage state of the art AI technology to solve their alert volume challenges by letting Windows Defender ATP automatically investigate alerts, apply artificial intelligence to determine whether a threat is real and to determine what action to take, going from alert to remediation in minutes at scale.”

You can see how Hexadite’s security automation technology will improve Windows Defender ATP in the video below:

The Redmond giant says that the new automated response capabilities in Windows Defender ATP will be available in preview later this year. “With this addition, Windows Defender ATP now covers the end-to-end threat lifecycle from detection to investigation and response automatically,” Microsoft added.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
