Rapid7 Expands Microsoft Partnership to Deliver Unified Managed Detection and Response
Rapid7 has expanded its partnership with Microsoft, unveiling a new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for Microsoft solution that integrates directly with Microsoft Defender and the broader Microsoft security ecosystem. The joint offering combines Rapid7’s AI-native operations platform and SOC expertise with Microsoft’s telemetry and analytics, delivering unified detection and contextual response across endpoints, email, cloud and identity services.
The collaboration underscores the industry’s pivot toward integrated security operations that can advance customers' security programs toward aligned business outcomes. Rapid7’s human-led MDR model provides more tailored threat response and compliance support. The service will be generally available in early 2026, marking a significant expansion of Rapid7’s Microsoft-aligned security portfolio.
