Cybereason vs. Microsoft

Microsoft solutions may pass for security, but they are regularly bypassed by attackers. With stakes this high, “good enough security” just isn’t good enough.

WHY COMPANIES CHOOSE CYBEREASON

Microsoft

NEVER BE HELD TO RANSOM

Microsoft

Undefeated in the fight against ransomware

Cybereason deception technology and lightning-fast threat analysis has been protecting customers from every major attack, making us undefeated in the fight against ransomware.

Passable protection isn't enough

Microsoft security offerings often leave customers susceptible to data encryption and double extortion from ransomware attacks. Exploitation of Microsoft products are responsible for more than half of all ransomware attacks.

NEVER GO IT ALONE

Elite experts and around the clock protection

Managed services provide a needed reprieve for overburdened security teams or organizations that don't have resources. Cybereason has the industry-renowned experts necessary to provide exceptional services including MDR and IR.

Lack the expertise for managed services

If you go with Microsoft, you’re banking on their ability to build and scale a brand new MDR service, and, you’ll need another vendor to provide IR services in the event that you need support recovering from an incident.

STILL IN PRODUCTION BECAUSE IT'S CRITICAL

Broad legacy systems coverage and deployment options

Critical legacy systems are unavoidable. On-premises systems are a reality for modern organizations. Cybereason includes coverage for legacy systems at no additional charge and deployment options from air-gapped to the cloud.

Expensive or impossible to secure datacenter and legacy systems

Microsoft is forcing server workloads to Azure and demands the latest Windows version on endpoints. Server security is an add-on license, legacy systems are unsupported or impose an upcharge, and on-premises deployment is impossible.

CONSOLE FATIGUE LEADS TO LOWER PRODUCTIVITY

Reduce time to detect and respond by 93%

Increase efficiency and productivity with simplified platform management and accelerated triage. Companies that switched to Cybereason reduced management tasks by 75%, and in MITRE ATT&CK tests, we detected 98% of threats with no config changes, and had zero delays.

Cumbersome consoles waste your time

Correlating the details of an attack is manual and requires switching between multiple consoles. Microsoft requires constant tuning; in MITRE ATT&CK tests configuration changes were required for detection in 12% of the tests.

NOISE MEANS MISSED THREATS

An operation-centric approach leaves attackers nowhere to hide

The Cybereason operation-centric approach is enriched with intuitive historical threat hunting to form a holistic view of an attack; cutting the noise, providing actionable insights, and uncovering today’s most sophisticated attackers.

Microsoft misses subtle signals and quiet malicious activity

Microsoft requires manual correlation of events across multiple consoles to form the complete picture of an attack. Attackers hide in the noise created by the deluge of unactionable alerts resulting from this piecemeal approach.

EFFECTIVE SECURITY REQUIRES FOCUS

Dedicated to you, The Defenders

Reversing the advantage that adversaries have in cyber security is the sole focus of Cybereason. Led by the world renowned research organization Nocturnus, every aspect of the company drives to the future where the defenders rein.

Too big to succeed

A surge of adversaries running rampant through vulnerabilities native to the Microsoft ecosystem is a direct result of a lack of focus, with countless attacks attributed to Microsoft’s laissez-faire attitude towards security.
