Stellar Cyber, the cybersecurity illumination company, today announced its acceptance into the prestigious Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP). This strategic partnership enhances Stellar Cyber’s threat intelligence capabilities, enabling earlier detection of vulnerabilities and a more proactive approach to cyber defense.

Through MAPP, Microsoft provides Stellar Cyber with early access to critical vulnerability and threat intelligence—up to two weeks ahead of public disclosure. This privileged access empowers Stellar Cyber to accelerate the development of protective measures within its unified, open AI-powered SecOps platform, strengthening customer defenses before exploits emerge in the wild.

“Joining MAPP underscores our commitment to proactive cybersecurity,” said Andrew Homer, Vice President Technology Alliances at Stellar Cyber. “This collaboration with Microsoft allows us to deliver faster, sharper, and more comprehensive protection for organizations using Microsoft technologies.”

As a MAPP member, Stellar Cyber will:

• Gain Early Threat Intelligence: Receive pre-release detection guidance on emerging Microsoft vulnerabilities, staying one step ahead of adversaries.

• Enhance Detection Capabilities: Leverage early insights to refine detection models and deliver timely, automated threat response within Microsoft environments.

• Strengthen Market Trust: Demonstrate industry leadership and alignment with Microsoft’s coordinated vulnerability disclosure practices.

• Gain Competitive Advantage: Empower customers with earlier defenses and set Stellar Cyber apart as a security provider that delivers speed and accuracy where it matters most.

MAPP is a Microsoft initiative designed to foster collaboration between trusted security vendors and Microsoft by sharing threat and vulnerability data prior to public updates. Through this program, Stellar Cyber joins a global community of elite cybersecurity companies working to improve the safety and resilience of the digital ecosystem.

This partnership further validates Stellar Cyber’s position as a trusted innovator in the cybersecurity space, providing customers with a uniquely integrated, AI-powered SecOps platform that fuses data, automates response, and amplifies security analyst productivity.
