When organizations deploy Microsoft 365, security leaders face a fundamental question: Is native Microsoft Defender protection enough?
Microsoft recently evaluated real-world telemetry from live enterprise tenants running seven ICES add-ons on top of Microsoft Defender. The result? KnowBe4 Defend ranked #1 across every single metric reported, catching 3.7x more dangerous emails that Microsoft Defender missed than the field average, with the lowest overlap.
Join Stuart Clark, SVP of Product at KnowBe4, for a technical breakdown of Microsoft's independent production telemetry and a live demonstration of our ICES ecosystem architecture between Microsoft Defender and KnowBe4 Defend.
We will showcase:
The #1 Benchmark Telemetry: How Defend caught 3.7x more dangerous emails that Defender missed with the lowest overlap (0.65%).
Adversarial AI & Model Diversity: How independent behavioral models neutralize polymorphic AI, prompt injections, and zero-payload BEC that slip through perimeter filters.
Microsoft Teams Messaging & Posture Management: Extending protection beyond the inbox into Teams and remediating insecure collaboration configurations.
Native SOC Workflows (Live Demo): Investigating Defend threat verdicts natively inside Microsoft Defender Threat Explorer.
Advanced Threat Hunting via KQL (Live Demo): Querying Defend-enriched threat metadata directly inside Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR.
See why defense-in-depth no longer requires hopping between consoles or redundant gateway fees. Learn how to maximize your Microsoft 365 investment with native, cloud-native ICES defense.
