# On-Demand Webinar: Introducing Ascend Defend Microsoft Security Suite
*Note: This is a recording of a live event*
### Why Organizations Across the U.S. Are Choosing Ascend Defend
Think of Microsoft licensing like purchasing a high-end security system for your office building. You might get surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and alarms—but if no one installs the equipment, monitors the footage, or responds to alerts, it's not protecting anything.
**Microsoft tools alone aren't a security strategy. But Ascend Defend is.**
Ascend Defend activates and manages the essential Microsoft security services that form the foundation of modern cyber defense. These include services like Microsoft Entra ID Protection for identity security, and Defender for Office 365 for email security and phishing defense. While these tools are often bundled within Microsoft Business Premium, E3, or E5 licenses, they require expert configuration and ongoing management to be truly effective. Our 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) continuously monitors your environment, proactively hunts threats, and ensures these tools are not only deployed—but fully optimized to work together.
### Connect With an Expert for a Free Consultation
##### **Core Services**
There are two package options: **Shield** and **Guardian**. Shield gives you essential 24/7 monitoring and foundational security controls, while Guardian adds advanced threat hunting, full MDR response, and strategic guidance for organizations that need a higher level of protection and oversight. Both suites include the following services:
- 24/7 Security Operation Center (SOC)
- Identity Protection
- Multi-Factor Authentication
- Endpoint Detection & Response
- Email Security
- Security Information Event Management (SIEM)
##### What You Gain
**✔ 24/7 Expert-Led Detection & Response:** Your environment is continuously monitored and protected by Ascend’s Microsoft-certified SOC team—so your team doesn’t have to be on-call
**✔ Unified, AI-Powered Protection:** Leverage Microsoft’s global threat intelligence and AI automation to quickly detect, isolate, and respond to threats across your environment
**✔ Maximum ROI on Microsoft Licensing:** We unlock the full potential of Microsoft’s built-in tools—eliminating the need for third-party security software and maximizing your licensing investment
**✔ Microsoft-Certified Support Team:** Our SOC analysts hold certifications like Microsoft Security Operations Analyst and Microsoft 365 Security Administrator. That means advanced protection backed by real expertise
**✔ Tailored Security for Your Business:** We configure and manage Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Entra ID based on your business’s specific needs—giving you protection that adapts as you grow
**✔ Expedited Microsoft Support Access:** Thanks to our top-tier Microsoft partnership, your support tickets are escalated to Level 2+ by default, with advanced case management and direct consultations
