EPAM Systems has officially joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), further strengthening its collaboration with Microsoft and expanding its role in the global cybersecurity ecosystem. The membership places EPAM among a network of trusted security vendors and service providers whose solutions integrate with Microsoft’s security technologies to better protect organizations against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
As cyber risks continue to evolve and organizations accelerate cloud and AI adoption, collaboration between security technology providers and service partners has become essential. Therefore, EPAM’s participation in the MISA ecosystem represents a significant step in enhancing its ability to deliver integrated, scalable security solutions aligned with Microsoft’s security framework. The partnership also enables deeper technical collaboration that helps mutual customers strengthen threat detection, response, and prevention capabilities.

“Joining MISA as a services partner reflects the maturity of EPAM’s security services and marks an important milestone in the evolution of our existing collaboration with Microsoft,” said Elaina Shekhter, SVP, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, EPAM. “Being part of the MISA ecosystem is a meaningful validation of how we deliver Microsoft-aligned security services at scale, and it reinforces our commitment to helping joint customers build security capabilities that are resilient in production and designed for long-term outcomes.”
EPAM’s cybersecurity services are built around an engineering-driven approach that focuses on integrating Microsoft Security technologies into unified operational platforms. Instead of treating cybersecurity implementation as a one-time deployment, EPAM helps organizations embed security into their ongoing technology and operational strategies. In particular, the company leverages Microsoft security solutions such as Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR to help clients monitor threats, manage incidents, and improve security visibility across complex digital environments.
By combining these technologies with EPAM’s engineering expertise, organizations can operate security as a fully integrated platform that supports continuous monitoring and proactive threat management. As a result, companies gain improved protection against cyber threats while maintaining operational efficiency across cloud, hybrid, and AI-powered environments.

For organizations that rely on both EPAM and Microsoft solutions, the new MISA membership will bring several advantages. First, it strengthens ecosystem alignment between the two companies, enabling faster implementation of security solutions and improved operational integration. Additionally, it enhances coordination across the Microsoft security partner network, which helps customers scale security capabilities more effectively while responding to evolving threats.
“The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association has grown into a vibrant ecosystem comprised of the most reliable and trusted security vendors across the globe,” said Maria Thomson, Director, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. “Our members, like EPAM, share Microsoft’s commitment to collaboration within the cybersecurity community to improve our customers’ ability to predict, detect, and respond to security threats faster.”
The MISA program, launched in 2018, was designed to bring together Microsoft leaders, security vendors, and service partners to collaborate on addressing modern cybersecurity challenges. By combining advanced technologies, shared threat intelligence, and industry expertise, the association works to create more integrated and intelligent security solutions. Its mission focuses on helping organizations defend against cyber threats at the speed and scale required in today’s AI-driven threat landscape.
With its addition to the MISA ecosystem, EPAM continues to strengthen its global cybersecurity capabilities while deepening its relationship with Microsoft. As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud computing, AI-powered applications, and complex digital infrastructures, collaborative security frameworks like MISA will play a critical role in helping organizations maintain resilience and stay ahead of emerging threats.
