There are updated (March 2025) Microsoft 365 plan comparison documents with lines added for Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting and XDR.

These useful documents tell you which of the (many) different components are included in which Office 365/Microsoft 365 plan, and there’s a table for SMB customers (https://bit.ly/4kyNmWi), one for Enterprise customers (https://bit.ly/4hDoMRj), and still more for specialist US Government customers – one for GCC (https://bit.ly/4bYkXoy), one for GCC High (https://bit.ly/41ApWqX) and the final one for DoD (https://bit.ly/4hF1CKf).

Microsoft Sentinel

Microsoft announce that Microsoft Sentinel is now generally available in the Microsoft Defender portal as part of the unified security operations platform.

The announcement article here: https://bit.ly/3WvzCli gives a good overview of what Microsoft Sentinel customers on the commercial cloud with at least one Microsoft Defender XDR workload deployed will now be able to do. Microsoft Sentinel itself analyses large amounts of data to accelerate threat detection and responses across an organisation, and is billed by the volume of data stored in a Log Analytics workspace and analysed in Microsoft Sentinel.
