 # Connect data from Microsoft Defender XDR to Microsoft Sentinel
 
-The Microsoft Defender XDR connector for Microsoft Sentinel allows you to stream all Microsoft Defender XDR incidents and alerts into Microsoft Sentinel. This connector keeps the incidents synchronized between both portals. Microsoft Defender XDR incidents include all their alerts, entities, and other relevant information. The incidents can also include alerts from the Microsoft Defender products and services.
