Threat Detection & Response
Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, Defender for Identity, incident response, and advanced threat analytics.
The average breach goes undetected for 204 days. Yours won’t. We deploy Sentinel SIEM and Defender for Identity, correlate signals across your entire estate, and respond to threats before they escalate. Not a monitoring dashboard you inherit. A managed detection service that operates around the clock.
These are the detection and response capabilities we deploy and operate. Every alert is triaged, every incident is tracked, every action is evidenced.
