Waterloo, Ontario, October 8, 2025. OpenText has revealed improvements to its Threat Detection and Response solution, OpenText™ Core Threat Detection and Response, which is now deeply integrated with Microsoft tools such as Defender for Endpoint, Entra ID, and Copilot for Security. This collaboration aims to enable security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to threats more efficiently, minimizing the volume of alerts that tend to overwhelm Security Operations Centers (SOCs).
In a context where adversaries also employ artificial intelligence (AI) to advance and conceal themselves, OpenText has extended the use of Copilot for Security by incorporating behavior-based indicators and identity intelligence. This results in more relevant summaries, guided investigations, and actionable recommendations so that analysts can act with greater confidence.
Muhi Majzoub, Executive Vice President of Security Products at OpenText, noted that his solution simplifies security by filtering out alert noise and highlighting high-confidence threats. This promises a more effective defense against internal threats and sophisticated attacks.
The update positions OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response as a key piece within OpenText Cybersecurity Cloud, integrating with three Microsoft components:
-
Microsoft Defender for EndpointProvides telemetry and signals that enrich behavior-based detection.
-
Microsoft Entra IDIt provides an identity context that intersects with device events.
-
Microsoft Copilot for Security: Act as an AI assistant that receives enriched indicators to generate summaries, guide investigations and recommend actions.
For the SOCs, this combination promises to reduce the excess of low-quality alerts and shorten investigation times by providing a more complete context. From Microsoft, Heather Deggans notes that the collaboration with OpenText strengthens the security posture of organizations in the face of rising attacks, improving efficiency and return on investment.
The use cases that customers prioritize include the detection of internal threats, identity attacks, and ransomware in the early stages. OpenText emphasizes that its solution supports analysts by providing context and automation, which is vital for responding quickly in critical situations.
In a sector characterized by complexity, OpenText seeks to simplify security management through AI, preventing and mitigating compliance risks, improving efficiency in cloud and hybrid environments. Your current offer promises comprehensive visibility and a coordinated response at the enterprise level.
The solution is available as part of OpenText Cybersecurity Cloud and adapts to customers who are already using Microsoft tools, avoiding the introduction of fragmented consoles. With a vision to build a unified security platform, OpenText continues its commitment to integrate contextual threat intelligence in real time.
Conclusion: In an environment of increasing complexity and a shortage of specialized talent, OpenText aligns with customers' needs by integrating AI with Microsoft's leading platforms. This strategy promises to reduce noise in the SOCs, facilitating the transition from signal to effective action.
