eSentire, a Top 250 MSSP and Top 20 managed detection and response (MDR) service provider, has unveiled the Cloud Automation Security Assistant (CASA) for Microsoft security products, according to a prepared statement.
CASA is a self-service MDR tool that lets Microsoft Teams users manage security alerts, engage eSentire experts and launch automated threat configurations for Microsoft Cloud Application Security, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Azure and the Microsoft Graph Security API, eSentire said. It runs on the eSentire Atlas Extended Detection and Response platform and aggregates and enriches alerts.
Other CASA features include:
- Intelligent filtering to help Teams users prioritize security alerts
- Threat intelligence to provide Teams users with security insights
- Ability to connect with eSentire security analysts on-demand
CASA is available free of charge to anyone with a Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, eSentire noted. It also can be deployed in less than five minutes.
