Utilizing "automated attack disruption" to respond to adversary hands-on-keyboard activity at scale gives defenders a significant advantage in cost of attack vs defense. However this degree of automation can only be successfully utilized where sufficiently high confidence detections are available. Thanks to our advancements in #AI, we can bring those high confidence detections to bear automating defense for more scenarios and greater scope than ever before.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint shifts the paradigm with Automatic Attack Disruption – from Detect-&-Alert to Detect-&-Disrupt. This AI-powered capability uses signal across the Microsoft 365 Defender workloads to disrupt advanced attacks with high confidence.
