Critical Start provides deep integration with the Microsoft Security suite to detect every event, resolve every alert, and respond to breaches. We reduce risk acceptance and magnify security visibility by leveraging the deep cybersecurity insights and capabilities that make the Microsoft security stack different from other extended detection and response (XDR) solutions.
