Microsoft introduced the Security Store, a unified, security-optimized storefront now in public preview that lets customers discover, buy, and deploy vetted security solutions and AI agents that integrate with Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, Intune, and Security Copilot. The store streamlines procurement with unified billing, optional MACC attribution, and guided deployment, tying Microsoft’s AI-powered security vision to a fast-growing partner ecosystem.
What’s new
Microsoft’s new Security Store creates a single place to find Microsoft and partner-built security solutions and AI agents that are verified by Microsoft Security product teams to work seamlessly across the stack. Launched in public preview on September 30, 2025, it packages discovery, purchase, and deployment into one experience aligned to real security outcomes.
Why it matters
Security teams are under pressure to move faster while reducing integration complexity and time-to-value, and the store addresses this by curating interoperable solutions and agents. By surfacing offerings in context of Microsoft products and industry frameworks, it helps organizations scale capabilities quickly without stitching together disparate marketplaces.
How the Microsoft Security Store works
Because it’s built on Microsoft’s marketplace, buyers get unified billing and can consolidate spend on a single invoice, with eligible purchases counting toward Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment.
Admins can deploy solutions and agents in just a few steps with guided setup, automatic resource provisioning, and clear visibility into where each solution is installed.
-
Filter by industry frameworks like NIST to browse by functions such as threat protection, identity, compliance, and cloud security.
-
Find solutions by integration type, including Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra, and Microsoft Purview.
-
Streamline procurement with unified billing and optional MACC attribution via public or private offers.
-
Accelerate time-to-value with guided deployment and automatic provisioning across Microsoft Security products.
What’s inside
The catalog spans SaaS solutions and AI agents for SOC operations, IT administration, privacy, and compliance, all designed to integrate natively with Microsoft Security. AI agents—many built on Security Copilot—automate triage, accelerate investigations, and deliver real-time insights to boost speed and precision.
Partner examples
- Threat protection and AI agents: BlueVoyant, Darktrace, and Illumio deliver agents that automate threat hunting, triage alerts, and isolate threats across hybrid and multicloud environments.
- Identity and access: Invoke and Netskope help discover and govern workload identities, enforce Zero Trust, and integrate with Entra and Defender for context-rich protection.
- Endpoint and cloud: Tanium’s Autonomous Endpoint Management pairs real-time visibility with AI-powered automation to keep environments secure at scale.
- Email security: Darktrace’s Email Analysis Agent assists SOC teams in detecting and responding to phishing with self-learning AI.
For customers
Security leaders can tailor selections by outcomes and frameworks, then buy and deploy right away—minimizing handoffs and enabling continuous improvement of the security posture. Customer testimonials highlight the value of a focused, security-centric marketplace that avoids the noise of generic catalogs.
For partners
Partners can monetize SaaS solutions and AI agents using Microsoft’s global commerce, transact in local currencies, and tap built-in billing and entitlement.
They also benefit from in-product discovery, go-to-market incentives, and a fully managed commerce lifecycle for agent builders.
Availability and next steps
The Microsoft Security Store is available in public preview, with a rapidly expanding catalog; new listings are added weekly to address threat protection, identity, data security, compliance, and cloud scenarios.
