Ontinue is a proud participant in the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ontinue, a leading provider of AI-powered managed extended detection and response (MXDR) services and winner of the 2023 Microsoft Security Services Innovator of the Year award, today announced it was selected based on its proven experience with Microsoft Security technologies, willingness to explore and provide feedback on cutting edge functionality, and close relationship with Microsoft. As part of this collaboration, Ontinue's Posture Advisor Agent Core agent will be available in the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem, giving customers direct access to a trusted, Microsoft-validated solution for strengthening identity security.

Ontinue is aligning efforts with Microsoft to help shape the development of the Microsoft Security Store, providing feedback on new features, integration experiences, and customer needs. By publishing certified solutions and AI agents that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Security products, Ontinue is making it easier for organizations to discover, purchase, and deploy trusted security technologies. Through the Security Store, Ontinue is helping customers accelerate their security outcomes and simplify operations with solutions that are vetted, easy to deploy, and designed to work together.

The Ontinue Posture Advisor Agent Core is a free configuration auditing agent built with Microsoft Copilot, designed to help organizations strengthen identity protections in Microsoft Entra ID. Leveraging the real-world expertise of Ontinue's global Security Operations Center and a curated knowledge base of Ontinue and Microsoft best practices, the agent continuously evaluates Conditional Access Policies to identify gaps, misconfigurations, and underutilized features. It produces actionable, prioritized reports, delivered on demand or on a scheduled basis, so organizations can harden identity-based policies, reduce their exposure to evolving identity attacks, and maximize the value of their Entra ID investment.

According to Ontinue's 1H 2025 Threat Intelligence Report, identity-based attacks are now one of the most common initial access methods, with adversaries increasingly bypassing MFA and exploiting misconfigured or underutilized policies in Entra ID. This makes maintaining and optimizing Conditional Access Policies critical for reducing risk. The Ontinue Posture Advisor Agent Core directly addresses this challenge by identifying gaps and providing best-practice recommendations to harden identity defenses.

"Identity remains the frontline of cybersecurity, and too many organizations believe they are protected when hidden gaps leave them exposed," said Moritz Mann, Chief Strategy Officer at Ontinue. "By combining Microsoft's powerful security capabilities with Ontinue's expertise, this agent gives customers a simple, effective way to close those gaps and unlock the full potential of Microsoft Entra ID."

"The Microsoft Security Store is designed to simplify and strengthen how organizations approach cybersecurity. By offering a curated selection of trusted solutions and AI agents, we help Security and IT teams quickly find, purchase, and deploy technologies that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Security," said Dorothy Li, Corporate Vice President, Security Copilot, Ecosystem and Marketplace. "With simplified billing, streamlined deployment, and verified integrations, the Security Store empowers defenders to accelerate their response, improve their security posture, and focus on what matters most." 

The Microsoft Security Store is setting a new benchmark for cybersecurity procurement and deployment. By centralizing a wide range of security solutions and AI agents—organizations can now streamline how they discover, acquire, and operationalize advanced security technologies. With features like industry framework alignment, simplified billing, and guided deployment, the Security Store helps security teams reduce complexity, accelerate adoption, and maximize the value of their security investment.
