Security teams are facing more threats, more complexity, and more pressure to act quickly - without increasing risk or operational overhead. What matters is being able to find the right capability, deploy it safely, and use it where security work already happens.

Microsoft Security Store was built with that goal in mind.

It provides a single, trusted place to discover, purchase, and deploy Microsoft and partner-built security agents and solutions that extend Microsoft Security - helping you improve protection across SOC, identity, and data protection workflows.

Today, the Security Store includes 75+ security agents and 115+ solutions from Microsoft and trusted partners - each designed to integrate directly into Microsoft Security experiences and meet enterprise security requirements.

At RSAC 2026, we’re announcing capabilities that make it easier to turn security intent into action- by improving how you discover agents, how quickly you can put them to use, and how effectively you can apply them across workflows to achieve your security outcomes.

Meet the Next Generation of Security Agents

Security agents are becoming part of day-to-day operations for many teams - helping automate investigations, enrich signals, and reduce manual effort across common security tasks.

Since Security Store became generally available, Microsoft and our partners have continued to expand the set of agents that integrate directly with Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, Intune and Security Copilot.

Some of the notable partner-built agents available through Security Store include:

XBOW Continuous Penetration Testing Agent

XBOW’s penetration testing agents perform pen-tests, analyzes findings, and correlates those findings with a customer’s Microsoft Defender detections. XBOW integrates offensive security directly into Microsoft Security workflows by streaming validated, exploitable AppSec findings into Microsoft Sentinel and enabling investigation through XBOW's Copilot agents in Microsoft Defender. With XBOW’s pen-testing agents, offensive security can run continuously to identify which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable, and how to improve posture and detections.

Tanium Incident Scoping Agent

The Tanium Incident Scoping Agent (In Preview) is bringing real-time endpoint intelligence directly into Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Security Copilot workflows. The agent automatically scopes incidents, identifies impacted devices, and surfaces actionable context in minutes-helping teams move faster from detection to containment. By combining Tanium’s real-time intelligence with Microsoft Security investigations, you can reduce manual effort, accelerate response, and maintain enterprise-grade governance and control.

Zscaler

In Microsoft Sentinel, the Zscaler ZIA–ZPA Correlation Agent correlates ZIA and ZPA activity for a given user to speed malsite/malware investigations. It highlights suspicious patterns and recommends ZIA/ZPA policy changes to reduce repeat exposure.

These agents build on a growing ecosystem of Microsoft and partner capabilities designed to work together, allowing you to extend Microsoft Security with specialized expertise where it has the most impact.

Discover and Deploy Agents and Solutions in the Flow of Security Work

Security teams work best when they don’t have to switch tools to make decisions.

That’s why Security Store is embedded directly into Microsoft Security experiences - so you can discover and evaluate trusted agents and solutions in context, while working in the tools you already use. When Security Store became generally available, we embedded it into Microsoft Defender, allowing SOC teams to discover and deploy trusted Microsoft and partner‑built agents and solutions in the middle of active investigations. Analysts can now automate response, enrich investigations, and resolve threats all within the Defender portal.

At RSAC, we’re expanding this approach across identity and data security.

Strengthening Identity Security with Security Store in Microsoft Entra

Identity has become a primary attack surface - from fraud and automated abuse to privileged access misuse and posture gaps.

Security Store is now embedded in Microsoft Entra, allowing identity and security teams to discover and deploy partner solutions and agents directly within identity workflows.

For external and verified identity scenarios, Security Store includes partner solutions that integrate with Entra External ID and Entra Verified ID to help protect against fraud, DDoS attacks, and intelligent bot abuse. These solutions, built by partners such as IDEMIA, AU10TIX, TrueCredential, HUMAN Security, Akamai and Arkose Labs help strengthen trust while preserving seamless user experiences. For enterprise identity security, more than 15 agents available through the Entra Security Store provide visibility into privileged activity and identity risk, posture health and trends, and actionable recommendations to improve identity security and overall security score. These agents are built by partners such as glueckkanja, adaQuest, Ontinue, BlueVoyant, Invoke, and Performanta.

This allows you to extend Entra with specialized identity security capabilities, without leaving the identity control plane.

Extending Data Protection with Security Store in Microsoft Purview

Protecting sensitive data requires consistent controls across where data lives and how it moves.

Security Store is now embedded in Microsoft Purview, enabling teams responsible for data protection and compliance to discover partner solutions directly within Purview DLP workflows. Through this experience, you can extend Microsoft Purview DLP with partner data security solutions that help protect sensitive data across cloud applications, enterprise browsers, and networks. These include solutions from Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access and partners such as Netskope, Island, iBoss, and Palo Alto Networks.

This experience will be available to customers later this month, as reflected on the M365 roadmap. By discovering solutions in context, teams can strengthen data protection without disrupting established compliance workflows.

Across Defender, Entra, and Purview, purchases continue to be completed through the Security Store website, ensuring a consistent, secure, and governed transaction experience - while discovery and evaluation happen exactly where teams already work.

Outcome-Driven Discovery, with Security Store Advisor

As the number of agents and solutions in the Store grow, finding the right fit for your security scenario quickly becomes more important.

That’s why we’re introducing the AIguided Security Store Advisor, now generally available.

You can describe your goal in natural language - such as “investigate suspicious network activity” and receive recommendations aligned to that outcome. Advisor also includes side-by-side comparison views for agents and solutions, helping you review capabilities, integrated services, and deployment requirements more quickly and reduce evaluation time.

Security Store Advisor is designed with Responsible AI principles in mind, including transparency and explainability. You can learn more about how Responsible AI is applied in this experience in the Security Store Advisor Responsible AI FAQ.

Overall, this outcome‑driven approach reduces time to value, improves solution fit, and helps your team move faster from intent to action.

Learning from the Security Community with Ratings and Reviews

Security decisions are strongest when informed by real world use cases. This is why we are introducing Security Store ratings and reviews from security professionals who have deployed and used agents and solutions in production environments. These reviews focus on practical considerations such as integration quality, operational impact, and ease of use, helping you learn from peers facing similar security challenges.

By sharing feedback, the security community helps raise the bar for quality and enables faster, more informed decisions, so teams can adopt agents and solutions with greater confidence and reduce time to value.

Making agents easier to use post deployment

Once you’ve deployed your agents, we’re introducing several new capabilities that make it easier to work with your agents in your daily workflows. These updates help you operationalize agents faster and apply automation where it delivers real value.

  • Interactive chat with agents in Microsoft Defender lets SOC analysts ask questions to agents with specialized expertise, such as understanding impacted devices or understanding what vulnerabilities to prioritize directly in the Defender portal. By bringing a conversational experience with agents into the place where analysts do most of their investigation work, analysts can seamlessly work in collaboration with agents to improve security.

  • Logic App triggers for agents enables security teams to include security agents in their automated, repeatable workflows. With this update, organizations can apply agentic automation to a wider variety of security tasks while integrating with their existing tools and workflows to perform tasks like incident triage and access reviews.
  • Product combinations in Security Store make it easier to deploy complete security solutions from a single streamlined flow - whether that includes connectors, SaaS tools, or multiple agents that need to work together. Increasingly, partners are building agents that are adept at using your SaaS security tools and security data to provide intelligent recommendations - this feature helps you deploy them faster with ease.

A Growing Ecosystem Focused on Security Outcomes

As the Security Store ecosystem continues to expand, you gain access to a broader set of specialized agents and solutions that work together to help defend your environment - extending Microsoft Security with partner innovation in a governed and integrated way. At the same time, Security Store provides partners a clear path to deliver differentiated capabilities directly into Microsoft Security workflows, aligned to how customers evaluate, adopt, and use security solutions.
