Customer journey
Discover how other organizations successfully use Microsoft Defender for Cloud to protect their cloud workloads. This month we are featuring ContraForce. ContraForce, a cybersecurity startup, built its platform on Microsoft’s robust security and AI ecosystem. Contraforce, while participating in Microsoft for Startup Pegasus program, addressed the issue of traditional, complex, and siloed security stacks by leveraging Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Entra ID and Microsoft Foundry. ContraForce was able to deliver enterprise-grade protection at scale, without the enterprise-level overhead. As a result, measured key outcomes like 90%+ incident automation, 93% reduced cost per incident, and 60x faster incident response.
