M&A without disruption: secure, scale, and integrate faster with an agentic SOC

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) should accelerate growth—not introduce risk, complexity, and operational drag. Yet, most organizations struggle with fragmented security tools, inconsistent policies across acquired entities, limited visibility into new environments, and overwhelmed teams trying to integrate everything under tight timelines. The result: delayed integrations, increased exposure to threats, and security operations that can’t keep pace with the business.

The reality is that most M&A security challenges aren’t caused by a lack of tools they’re caused by a lack of operational cohesion. Acquired environments often bring overlapping technologies, inconsistent configurations, and gaps in coverage that create blind spots at exactly the wrong time. Leading organizations are shifting toward an agentic, operations-led model one that unifies signals, automates investigation and response, and continuously adapts as new entities are onboarded. This approach turns integration from a reactive burden into a scalable, repeatable advantage.

In this joint webinar, we’ll explore how ACR partnered with Ontinue and Microsoft to operationalize “security that scales” using Ontinue ION MXDR built on and integrated with Microsoft Security (including Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender) and supported by Microsoft Teams–based collaboration. We’ll walk through ACR’s shift from manual SecOps work to more AI-augmented investigation and response, and the measurable business outcomes achieved; faster investigation, analyst time savings, improved security posture, and repeatable, on-time acquisition integrations.

Watch this webinar to learn how to:

1. Integrate acquired environments quickly without disrupting security operations
2. Eliminate visibility gaps across identities, endpoints, cloud, and data
3. Operationalize Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel for seamless M&A integration
4. Leverage an agentic SOC to automate investigation, response, and onboarding
5. Standardize security across entities while adapting to unique environments
6. Reduce risk and accelerate time-to-value after every acquisition
