What is the main benefit of integrating Microsoft Defender for Identity with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

Integrating Microsoft Defender for Identity with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides the significant advantage of unified visibility and control over threats detected both on endpoints and in identity activities. This integration allows security teams to gain a comprehensive view of potential threats affecting an organization.

By combining the insights from both Defender for Identity, which focuses on monitoring and protecting user identities and their associated activities, and Defender for Endpoint, which specializes in detecting and responding to threats on devices, organizations are empowered to analyze and respond to security incidents more effectively.

This holistic approach improves the response to threats, as it ensures that security analysts have access to a combined set of data, allowing them to correlate identity-related events with endpoint activities. Such correlation helps in identifying complex attack vectors that might involve both compromised identities and malicious activities on devices, enhancing the overall security posture of the organization.

The other options suggest benefits that do not capture the essence of the integration. For instance, the options related to patch management or traffic data focus on isolated benefits rather than the unified threat management that this integration specifically provides. Furthermore, while automatic isolation is a useful feature, it is not the primary benefit that arises from the integration of these two security tools.
