Comprehensive IT security for your company with Microsoft Defender
We implement and operate the complete Microsoft Defender stack: from endpoint through identity and cloud workloads to email protection. As a Solutions Partner for Security.
Why companies entrust us with their Defender environment.
The complete stack, not just endpoint
We implement all Defender products as a connected system: from endpoint through identity to cloud workloads and email protection.
01
Operated as MDR, not as a one-off project
For us, Defender is not a set-it-and-forget-it job but an ongoing service with active monitoring, alert triage and incident response.
02
Security as core business, not an add-on
As a Solutions Partner for Security, Microsoft Defender is not one product among many but part of a consistent zero-trust architecture.
03
Our Microsoft Defender portfolio at a glance.
Defender for Endpoint
Behavioral protection for all clients and servers. Detects attacks that signature scanners miss, responds automatically, and provides a central device inventory. Not a traditional antivirus scanner, but a true EDR platform.
Defender for Identity
Monitoring Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID for suspicious behavior. Detects attack techniques such as Pass-the-Hash, Kerberoasting, and Lateral Movement before they cause damage.
Defender for Office 365
Protection for email, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint against phishing, malware, and Business Email Compromise. Automatic quarantine, real-time analysis of incoming links, and optional attack simulations for your team.
Defender for Cloud
Protection and visibility for Azure workloads, cloud applications, and shadow IT. Real-time vulnerability management, compliance score, and anomaly detection across your entire cloud environment.
Microsoft Sentinel
Azure-based SIEM and SOAR. All security logs in one place, automated playbooks for standard scenarios, and AI-powered threat intelligence. Defender XDR automatically correlates signals from Endpoint, Identity, Email, and Cloud into incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions, Honest Answers
What does Microsoft Defender cost as a managed service?
The costs are made up of the Microsoft licences and our MDR operating costs. As a CSP partner we optimise your licensing – many companies find that Defender features are already included in their existing Microsoft 365 licences. We clarify the scope and pricing in an initial consultation. You receive a transparent quote based on your actual requirements.
Does Baggenstos also offer monitoring of Microsoft Defender as a managed service?
Yes. We operate Defender as Managed Detection & Response from the Swiss SOC. 24/7 monitoring, alert triage, incident response and monthly reporting are included. We filter out false positives, escalate genuine threats immediately and deliver forensic analyses. Protection stays active even when you are not looking.
What does the term Microsoft XDR mean in practice for our IT security?
XDR (Extended Detection & Response) connects endpoint, identity, email and cloud security into one platform. Defender XDR correlates signals: a phishing click on the laptop is linked with an identity compromise in a cloud service. Instead of isolated alerts, you receive a holistic view of the attack chain.
What is the difference between Microsoft Defender and a classic antivirus program?
A classic antivirus program compares files with signatures. Defender for Endpoint goes further: behaviour-based detection with AI, endpoint detection & response, automatic isolation in case of incidents and integration with identity and cloud security. Enterprise versions replace third-party scanners and save on duplicate licence costs.
Why is a normal spam filter not enough and why do we need Defender for Office 365?
Modern attackers rely on phishing and business email compromise: deceptively genuine emails with no malicious attachment that trick people into making transfers. A classic spam filter does not detect this. Defender for Office 365 checks links and attachments in real time, simulates suspicious content in a sandbox and blocks manipulated senders.
How does Defender for Endpoint protect our company laptops in the home office?
Defender for Endpoint runs on the laptop, regardless of location. Suspicious processes are detected and isolated in real time: an infected endpoint is disconnected from the network before malware can spread. Conditional Access checks the device status before every access. Protection in the home office is just as strong as in the office.
Can we continue using our existing antivirus solution?
As a rule we recommend replacing it, because running them in parallel can cause conflicts and the synergies with the Microsoft stack are lost. For the transition phase we operate both solutions in parallel. Whether an existing solution should be kept is something we assess during the assessment. Most companies benefit from moving to an integrated Microsoft security platform.
