Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital world, vulnerabilities pop up faster than ever. You need a response that keeps pace. That’s where Microsoft Defender integration comes in. Pair it with a tool like Astra Vulnerability Response, and you get a powerhouse duo. Automated prioritisation. Swift remediation. Zero friction in your workflow.
