Vectra AI, a leader in AI-driven XDR (extended detection and response), recently announced the extension of the Vectra AI Platform to include comprehensive coverage for customers’ Microsoft Azure environments. According to a recent Microsoft report, customers face more than 600 million cybercriminal and nation-state attacks every day, ranging from ransomware to phishing to identity attacks. This expansion will allow organizations to use AI to help identify real threats in real-time across their Microsoft ecosystem.

He emphasized the importance of delivering accurate, correlated signals to Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts to enable swift responses to potential threats. Mark discussed the challenges posed by the fast-paced nature of enterprise environments and the evolving tactics of attackers, focusing on Vectra AI’s effective AI applications in threat detection.
