CrowdStrike Falcon OverWatch for Defender Extends Managed Threat Hunting to Microsoft Endpoint Customers<\/b><\/p>\n

CrowdStrike’s expert-led threat hunting augments Microsoft Defender by identifying and stopping threats that would otherwise go undetected<\/i><\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–CrowdStrike<\/a> (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced Falcon OverWatch for Defender<\/a>, extending industry-leading managed threat hunting to Microsoft endpoint customers. Falcon OverWatch for Defender strengthens security outcomes for Microsoft Defender with enhanced visibility, real-time detection and response, and continuous expert monitoring to identify and stop sophisticated threats that would otherwise go undetected, extending the value of existing endpoint deployments.<\/p>\n

\nFor organizations standardized on Microsoft Defender, automated detections alone leave gaps that today’s AI-accelerated adversaries are built to exploit. Falcon OverWatch for Defender closes those gaps with continuous, expert-led hunting that identifies and stops threats before they escalate. The announcement builds on CrowdStrike’s continued support for Microsoft environments, following the launch of Falcon Next-Gen SIEM for Defender<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cToday’s attacks are stealthy, fast-moving, and designed to evade detection, making expert-led threat hunting essential,” said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike. “OverWatch for Defender extends proven threat hunting to Microsoft environments, delivering the security outcome customers need most: stopping the breach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proactively Hunting Stealthy Adversaries<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAccording to the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report<\/a>, 82% of detections in 2025 were malware-free. Adversaries are increasingly using AI, trusted identities, and legitimate tools to accelerate attacks, blend into normal activity, and evade detection. At the same time, frontier AI models are surfacing a surge of new vulnerabilities adversaries can exploit. With breakout times as fast as 27 seconds, alert-driven approaches alone cannot keep pace. Identifying and stopping stealthy threats requires continuous, intelligence-driven threat hunting. Powered by the AI-native Falcon\u00ae platform<\/a> and deep adversary expertise, Falcon Adversary OverWatch’s<\/a> elite threat hunters rapidly uncover and disrupt evasive threats.<\/p>\n
