Microsoft Security Copilot
An AI helper for security teams built into Microsoft Defender and Sentinel that explains threats in plain English and bills by the hour.
An endpoint security tool that groups related alerts into one view of an attack, now owned by LevelBlue.
Cybereason is an endpoint and extended detection and response tool that security teams use to catch malware, ransomware, and attacker activity across laptops, servers, and cloud systems. Its key idea is called a MalOp: it groups related alerts from one attack into a single timeline instead of a flood of separate tickets, cutting the time analysts spend piecing events together by hand. Cybereason also offers a managed detection and response service, where a 24/7 team watches for threats on a customer's behalf. LevelBlue completed its purchase of Cybereason in November 2025, and Cybereason now operates as part of that company, so check with LevelBlue first to confirm current packaging and support plans.
This fits a company that wants one alert view instead of chasing separate endpoint alerts by hand, and a team that lacks a 24/7 SOC and could add the managed option on top. A sensible starting point is a pilot on your endpoint fleet, adding the managed service later if internal staff is thin. Reported pricing runs from roughly 5 to 25 dollars per endpoint per month depending on tier; treat that as a rough planning range and confirm current pricing with LevelBlue, since packaging may change after the acquisition. Two risks: ownership changes like this one can shift the product roadmap or support model, so ask directly how the new owner handles existing Cybereason contracts and renewals.

Estimate assumptions: This scenario uses a category-based allowance, not a verified price for this product. Based on 1 production deployment. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Cybereason and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
