Our Managed Microsoft Sentinel Detection and Response Service is managed and delivered by our Security Operations Centre (SOC), comprised of qualified cyber security professionals. Their mission is to continuously detect, investigate, and respond to cyber security incidents 24/7, every day of the year.

Empowered by Microsoft’s leading security technologies, particularly Microsoft Sentinel, our team monitors your entire IT environment, identifying potential threats and swiftly responding to them. Our approach combines the expertise of our creative security analysts, who understand the mindset of cyber criminals, with world-class automated technology. This dual strategy effectively minimises risks across your entire IT landscape.

We work in close partnership with your existing IT and security teams, seamlessly integrating with your organisation’s defences. While we are technology experts, our primary focus is on delivering positive results, tangible outcomes, and a clear return on investment for your business.

Given the current challenging digital landscape, there is a severe shortage of qualified cyber security experts, and the competition for talent is fierce. Organisations that aim to establish their own SOC or expand their in-house security team face the arduous task of recruiting, training, and retaining employees, as well as investing in the necessary tools and licenses to safeguard their assets.

Why Microsoft?

01

Integration with Microsoft Ecosystem

Microsoft Sentinel seamlessly integrates with the broader Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure cloud services and Microsoft 365. This integration allows for comprehensive visibility and correlation of security events across different Microsoft platforms.

02

Advanced Threat Detection

Microsoft Sentinel leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to identify and detect advanced threats. It uses behavioural analytics and anomaly detection to uncover suspicious activities and potential security incidents.

03

Scalability and Flexibility

Microsoft Sentinel is built on a scalable cloud architecture, enabling organisations to handle massive amounts of security data and rapidly adapt to evolving security needs. It offers flexibility in terms of deployment options, supporting both cloud-native and hybrid environments.

04

Automation and Orchestration

Microsoft Sentinel automates various aspects of security operations, including threat detection, investigation, and response. It allows security teams to streamline their workflows and execute automated response actions, saving time and effort.

05

Threat Intelligence and Integration

Microsoft Sentinel integrates with external threat intelligence sources, enabling organisations to enrich their security analysis with up-to-date threat information. It also integrates with other security tools and solutions, allowing for a centralised view and coordinated response across the security infrastructure.

06

24/7 Monitoring and Incident Response

Microsoft Sentinel, coupled with a dedicated Security Operations Centre (SOC), provides continuous monitoring and around-the-clock incident response. This ensures that security events are promptly detected, investigated, and mitigated to minimise the impact on the organisation.

Overall, Microsoft Sentinel offers a comprehensive and robust security solution that combines advanced technology, integration capabilities, scalability, and automation to help organisations effectively detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats.
