Cyware Intel Exchange integration with Microsoft Defender

Automating Threat Intelligence for Endpoints with Cyware Intel Exchange and Microsoft Defender

Bringing Better Threat Defense to Life

Cybersecurity doesn’t stand still, and security teams are under constant pressure to respond faster and more effectively. As environments and tools grow more complex, accurate, and timely decision-making becomes critical. That’s where Cyware comes in–the threat intelligence platform built to handle scale and complexity, and enhance both speed and precision for CTI and SOC teams alike.

That’s why we’re so excited about our deep integration between Cyware Intel Exchange and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Together, these solutions help security teams streamline workflows, cut through the noise, and take action with greater confidence.

From Noise to Actionable Intelligence with Cyware Intel Exchange

Cyware Intel Exchange truly helps security teams take control of their threat intelligence regardless of the scale. It pulls in data from multiple sources — including commercial feeds, open-source intel, and sharing communities like ISACs and ISAOs — and turns that raw data into usable insights teams can leverage to proactively prevent attacks or when needing enrichment on an IOC that has shown up somewhere. By automatically de-dupping, normalizing, enriching, and correlating all of this data, Cyware Intel Exchange helps teams understand what matters most and respond with confidence.

Smarter Defense with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

With our integration, threat intelligence from Cyware Intel Exchange flows directly into Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, allowing teams to act on the latest intelligence without extra steps or overhead. Moreover, organizations can leverage automated rules in Cyware Intel Exchange to operationalize actionable indicators related to a specific industry or threat actors.

Here’s what the integration makes possible:

  • Always-Up-to-Date Defense: Cyware Intel Exchange pushes threat indicators with enriched context directly into Defender for Endpoint, keeping systems aligned with the latest threat landscape without requiring manual updates.
  • Deeper Context for Better Decisions: Cyware Intel Exchange adds valuable context — like tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs), threat actor associations, and campaign insights — so analysts can investigate alerts more effectively and get a better understanding of the big picture.
  • Faster & Automated Threat Hunting: Teams can use indicators sourced from Cyware Intel Exchange to uncover threats across endpoints proactively, improving early detection and response.
  • Reduced Manual Work: Automating the ingestion and enrichment of intel frees up analysts to focus on what matters, cutting down the time they would need to triage by eliminating repetitive tasks.

Built to Scale Across the Security Stack

Whether you’re operating in a heavily regulated environment or managing a fast-paced SOC, the Cyware Intel Exchange + Microsoft Defender integration adapts to your needs. With flexible controls for filtering and customizing intelligence, Cyware Intel Exchange makes sure only relevant, high-quality threat data powers your endpoint defense.

Expanding Value with Microsoft Sentinel

In addition to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Cyware Intel Exchange also integrates with Microsoft Sentinel. That means you can bring enriched threat intelligence into your SIEM and SOAR workflows — unlocking more context, better detection, and smarter response actions across your Microsoft security products.

Benefits of the Cyware Intel Exchange + Microsoft Sentinel integration include:

  • Smarter Alerting: Bringing enriched intelligence into Sentinel enables more accurate detections and helps reduce false positives.
  • Improved Threat Hunting: Threat hunters get richer intel to work with, helping them surface hidden threats and connect the dots faster.
  • Automation from Intel to Action: By combining Cyware Intel Exchange with Sentinel’s playbooks, you can automatically trigger responses based on threat intelligence, keeping your SOC a step ahead.

What’s Next

Our partnership with Microsoft is all about helping security teams make the most of their tools, upleveling collective defense, and operationalizing threat intelligence. As we continue working together, our goal is to bring even more value to joint customers by driving better threat visibility, faster response, and more unified security operations.
