# Microsoft Defender Integration with Morphisec

_Last updated: 2025-09-24_

Morphisec enhances Microsoft Defender for Endpoint by preventing unknown, zero-day, in-memory, and other advanced attacks through a Defense-in-Depth approach that reduces attack blast radius and lowers organizational cyber risk exposure.

## Overview

Morphisec is a member of the Microsoft Intelligence Security Association (MISA) and is listed in the [Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/morphisec.morphisec_threat_prevention?tab=Overview) and the [Microsoft App Store](https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-gb/product/web-apps/morphisec.morphisec_threat_prevention?tab=Overview).

## Problem: Limitations of Signature-Based Endpoint Detection and Response

Sophisticated threats are capable of bypassing EDR solutions like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. EDR is primarily signature-based, leaving organizations vulnerable to zero-days, unknown, and fileless attacks. Cybercriminals use increasingly evasive tactics to deploy ransomware and other malicious software that bypass traditional endpoint protection measures.

## Solution: Defense-in-Depth with Morphisec

Morphisec enhances Microsoft Defender for Endpoint by preventing unknown, zero-day, in-memory, and other advanced attacks. Morphisec implements Defense-in-Depth, effectively reducing the blast radius of attacks and ensuring anti-ransomware protection.

Morphisec integrates with Defender to allow viewing of blocked attacks directly in the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint security console and prioritizing alerts in the Active Alerts list.

## Key Capabilities

## Customer Testimonials

**Principal Cybersecurity Architect, $5B USD company:**
"We love Morphisec. We just had a pentest done and they could not beat Morphisec. They kept saying 'what are you guys running'? The pentester tried to exploit Defender but Morphisec just would not let it happen."

**Billy Sainz, IT Operations Manager, Citizens Medical Center:**
"Morphisec provides full visibility into security events for Microsoft Defender and Morphisec in one dashboard. In the single pane of glass provided by Morphisec, it's all right there at your fingertips: easy to access and easy to understand."

**VP Information Security, $500–$1B Insurance company:**
"Morphisec provides a different approach to endpoint security that is innovative and goes after stopping rather than just detecting malware and breaches. In the dashboard, we can see Morphisec defeat malware that was about to get through Microsoft Defender."

**VP Information Technology, $50–250M Software company:**
"I feel a lot better about the state of our endpoint security supplementing our MS Defender environment with Morphisec. It is capable of identifying suspicious behavior and taking appropriate action, rather than relying on a pre-set definition table."
