Microsoft Defender is exceptional at detecting threats. ALICE ensures the application vulnerabilities that create those threats are identified and remediated — before Defender needs to act.

ALICE continuously scans for unpatched and end-of-life applications — remediating vulnerabilities before they become active threats that Defender has to respond to.

By keeping your application estate patched, governed, and up to date, ALICE systematically reduces the attack surface that adversaries exploit.

Audit-ready application compliance reporting gives your security team the evidence they need alongside Defender's threat data.

When Defender surfaces a threat tied to a vulnerable application, ALICE can automate remediation at scale — reducing dwell time and exposure.
No. ALICE and Defender are complementary. Defender detects and responds to threats; ALICE reduces the application vulnerabilities that create them.
Yes — particularly so. Organisations running Defender for Endpoint benefit significantly from ALICE's proactive application patching and vulnerability remediation, which reduces the volume and severity of threats Defender needs to handle.
