As organisations continue to search for efficiencies across their business, expenditure and investments in technology are under scrutiny. And rightly so. Businesses have spent a lot of time searching out best of breed cybersecurity infrastructure which doesn’t integrate or automate at an entity level. Doing more with less is certainly front of mind.
Why Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender are the cybersecurity solution you’ve been looking for.
We’ve been working in cybersecurity for a long time. So when our CTO, Cameron Fairbairn says Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender offers feature parity for most of the big gun solutions, at a fraction of the cost, we’re all ears. And so are our customers. Why?
You’re probably already paying for the Microsoft 365 licence
Most businesses already have a good spread of licences – including those which include access to the enhanced security features like Intune and Azure information protection and advanced threat protection for email and files.
If you’ve got one of these licences in your business, you could be doing more with the assets you’ve already got:
-
- Microsoft 365 Business Premium
-
- Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise (formerly Office 365 ProPlus)
-
- Microsoft 365 E3
-
- Microsoft 365 E5
-
- Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E3
-
- Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E5
Amazing Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender capability unleashed to protect your business including:
-
- Unified Threat Detection and Response
By integrating Microsoft Sentinel with Defender, your organisation can achieve a unified approach to threat detection and response. Sentinel collects data from Defender endpoints, Office 365 environments, and other sources, enabling your security team to correlate events, identify patterns, and detect suspicious activities across your entire IT infrastructure.
-
- Advanced Threat Hunting
Microsoft Sentinel’s advanced analytics capabilities, combined with Defender’s threat intelligence, provides the ability to proactively hunt for threats. Security analysts can leverage custom queries, machine learning, and behavioural analytics to identify unusual behaviour and potential security incidents, allowing for timely remediation before they escalate into full-blown breaches.
-
- Automated Incident Response
Integrating Microsoft Sentinel with Defender enables automated incident response workflows, streamlining the process of detecting, investigating, and mitigating security incidents. Embedded security orchestration and automated response (SOAR) capabilities can empower your business to automate repetitive tasks, isolate compromised endpoints, and apply remediation actions in real-time – this is efficiency in action.
-
- Threat Intelligence Integration
Microsoft Sentinel and Defender leverage threat intelligence feeds from Microsoft’s vast network of sensors, global threat research teams, and industry partnerships. This means your business can enrich your security analytics, improve threat detection accuracy, and stay ahead of emerging threats.
-
- Continuous monitoring and compliance
Microsoft Sentinel provides centralised visibility into security events and compliance posture across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By continuously monitoring logs, audit trails, and compliance framework Defender provides built-in compliance management features to help maintain a secure and compliant posture.
There’s no doubt the Microsoft security products are best of breed, bringing together threat detection, response and compliance capabilities to enhance security posture and provide actionable insights, automation and minimised risk of security breaches while building organisational security resilience without the crazy vendor investments.
