Microsoft is experiencing a widespread Microsoft 365 outage that is affecting access to Microsoft Defender portals and related security services. Defender EDR is functioning on endpoints, Cyderes is receiving alerts via our connectors, but the cloud portals and backend services are intermittently unavailable or degraded. This issue impacts management, visibility, and portal access currently – not the agents on endpoints. Cyderes will continue to monitor the situation closely. MSFT ref.
