Why did Starkey switch to Microsoft Defender XDR?
Starkey made the switch to Microsoft Defender XDR to enhance its security and compliance standards. The previous reliance on multiple platforms for logging and monitoring security incidents was not meeting their high security requirements. By consolidating to a single solution, Starkey aimed to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs associated with maintaining various systems.
What benefits did Starkey experience after the transition?
After implementing Microsoft Defender XDR, Starkey experienced significant operational savings and efficiency improvements. The company estimates annual savings of $150,000 from deprecated licenses alone. Additionally, the transition to a single management console reduced the number of false security signals and streamlined the training process for employees, allowing them to become productive more quickly.
How did Starkey ensure a smooth transition to the new system?
Starkey utilized its internal team to manage the transition to Microsoft Defender XDR, which involved overhauling six thousand endpoints within six months. They relied on the expertise of Microsoft and Critical Start for deployment and training, ensuring that the changeover was completed on time and effectively, allowing the team to adapt quickly to the new technology.

As a business owner you recognize that your time is finite and that your expertise doesn’t cover everything, so it’s false economy to try to handle all aspects of your business in-house. Dedicating your time and energy to your business’ core functions—serving your clients and building your business—is smarter than allowing yourself to get bogged down with the myriad of other tasks. You will be more successful when you focus your efforts, rather than trying to be a Jack-of-all-trades. So do what you do best, and hand off “the rest” to Your IT Department Lakeside Computers.
