Turn Microsoft Defender into a prevention-driven outcome with 24×7 SOC, ZeroDwell protection that allows unknowns to run safely through virtualization, and included incident response at no cost without replacing your Defender investment.
Microsoft Defender antivirus detects threats post-execution, allowing attackers lateral movement and expansion.
Alert response depends on internal availability, creating uncertainty about who validates, contains, and resolves incidents.
When alerts trigger outside business hours, incidents wait uninvestigated, allowing attackers time to escalate.
IT teams become reactive responders, managing alerts manually while balancing critical operational responsibilities.
Xcitium completes Microsoft Defender by adding ZeroDwell virtualization, prevention-first protection, and full ownership of security outcomes.
Unknown threats run safely inside virtualization, preventing persistence, lateral movement, or interaction with production systems.
Kernel-level virtualization isolates suspicious activity immediately, eliminating attacker dwell time and limiting breach exposure.
Behavioral analysis occurs during execution, allowing threats to be neutralized before operational impact occurs.
Xcitium assumes complete responsibility for investigation, virtualization, remediation, and resolution without internal escalation or handoffs.
Integrated no-cost breach response ensures incidents are handled immediately without external contracts or delays.
Correlated telemetry from endpoint, identity, and cloud sources delivers actionable insights and faster threat response.
