How Starkey Simplified Security With Microsoft Defender XDR
Security teams are under constant pressure to detect and respond to threats quickly. But when analysts have to manage multiple security tools and thousands of alerts, important threats can become harder to identify and investigate.
For Starkey, a growing global organization, a fragmented security environment was creating challenges for its SOC team.
Microsoft Defender XDR helped Starkey consolidate security protection, reduce analyst fatigue, and improve its ability to protect a global environment.
Too Many Tools, Too Many Alerts
Managing security across disconnected tools can make an already difficult job even harder.
When alerts come from multiple platforms, analysts may have to switch between systems, piece together information, and determine which events actually require attention.
This can create unnecessary complexity and contribute to alert fatigue.
Bring Security Into One Platform
A unified security platform can help teams see more of what’s happening across their environment.
Microsoft Defender XDR brings together security signals and protection capabilities across areas such as identities, endpoints, applications, and other resources.
By consolidating protection, security teams can spend less time jumping between tools and more time investigating meaningful threats.
Reduce Analyst Fatigue
Security analysts can’t investigate every alert with the same level of attention.
High alert volumes can make it difficult to prioritize the incidents that pose the greatest risk.
By improving visibility and bringing security information together, Defender XDR can help teams focus their efforts where they matter most.
For Starkey, this helped reduce the burden on its SOC team and create a more manageable security operation.
Protect a Growing Global Environment
As organizations expand, their security environments become more complex.
More employees, locations, devices, applications, and data can create additional opportunities for attackers.
A unified approach can help organizations maintain greater visibility as their environments grow.
For Starkey, Microsoft Defender XDR helped provide a more coordinated approach to protecting its global organization.
Connect Security Signals
Modern attacks rarely stay within one part of an IT environment.
An attacker might compromise an identity, move to an endpoint, access an application, and attempt to reach sensitive data.
Looking at each event separately can make it harder to understand the full attack.
XDR helps connect related security signals, giving analysts greater context and helping them identify threats that might otherwise be missed.
Make Security Operations More Efficient
A strong SOC isn’t just about having more security tools.
It’s about giving analysts the right information and capabilities to investigate threats efficiently.
Starkey’s experience shows how consolidating security technologies can help reduce complexity while improving the overall effectiveness of security operations.
