Many MSPs rely on Microsoft Defender as a starting point for protecting customer environments. It’s built in, familiar, and good at generating alerts. But modern attacks don’t stop when an alert appears. They often use stolen credentials, legitimate tools, and cloud access to move quickly after detection.

 

In this session, WatchGuard’s Worldwide MDR Channel Sales Manager Jen Rose will look at how attacks unfold in Microsoft Defender environments and why detection alone leaves gaps for MSPs and their customers.

 

We’ll walk through:

• What’s missing after an alert fires

• Why response timing matters
• How partners are beginning to think beyond alerts to better protect customers without changing the tools they already use
