By achieving this designation, CGI has proved its robust MXDR services, including a security operation centre (SOC) with 24-hour-a-day/seven-day-a-week/365-day-a-year pro-active hunting, monitoring and response capabilities -- all built on tight integrations with the Microsoft Security platform.

CGI's MXDR solution sets a new standard for managed security services, providing organizations with the confidence that their environments are protected by cutting-edge, fully managed and continuously monitored defences tailored to their unique needs."

"With malicious attacks on the rise, we understand security is front and centre for our customers. That is why I am excited to congratulate CGI on achieving Microsoft-verified managed extended detection and response solution status," said Rob Lefferts, corporate vice-president, modern protection and SOC, Microsoft.

"Their solution closely integrates with Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Sentinel and has been verified by Microsoft Security engineering to ensure that it provides comprehensive service coverage across the Microsoft Security portfolio."
