# Advanced hunting in Microsoft Defender multitenant management

Advanced hunting in Microsoft Defender multitenant management allows you to proactively hunt for intrusion attempts and breach activity in email, data, devices, and accounts across multiple tenants and workspaces at the same time. If you have multiple tenants with Microsoft Sentinel workspaces onboarded to the Microsoft Defender portal, search for security information and event management (SIEM) data together with extended detection and response (XDR) data across multiple tenants and workspaces.
