What is the Microsoft Security stack?

Microsoft has several different security applications that your organization can implement if it fits your needs. Let’s explore these applications, their purpose, and some requirements:
Microsoft
Sentinel
Microsoft Azure Sentinel offers next generation security operations with artificial intelligence. This is the first cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) offered from a major cloud provider. This service will quickly find real threats that were previously undetected while minimizing false positives, investigate threats with AI, hunt for suspicious activities, and respond to incidents with automation. 
 
Microsoft Azure Security Center
Microsoft Azure Security Center is a unified infrastructure management system that will strengthen your data centers overall security posture. This provides advanced threat protection across all hybrid workloads in Azure or on-premises, by addressing rapidly changing workloads, protecting against increasingly sophisticated attacks, and providing security alerts and recommendations. 
 
Microsoft Compliance Center
provides easy access to the data and tools you need to meet your industry’s compliance requirements. After choosing the compliance policy you’d like to meet, Microsoft Compliance Manager will provide a score of how compliant you currently are along with key action items to improve your score.  This can track your compliance journey to help with certifications, provide a place for compliance documents to reside, and give you step by step instructions to progress.

Investing in managed XDR partner success

Investing in managed XDR partner success

Microsoft is making a whole new set of investments in your success building your managed extended detection and response (XDR) services business. Demand is on a fast growth trajectory: Today, more than 785,000 organizations use Microsoft security products.

More than 50 percent of organizations will be using managed detection and response (MDR) services for threat monitoring, detection, and response functions that offer threat containment and mitigation capabilities by 2025.

Partners will play a critical role in addressing this incredible customer demand. Microsoft wants to invest now in your ability to meet this coming need.

Unleash The Power Of Microsoft Sentinel

Unleash The Power Of Microsoft Sentinel

A preview of Microsoft Sentinel was made available for customers last week. Categorized as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool, Microsoft claims that Sentinel is the first of its type in Cloud. This innovative service uses artificial intelligence to scrutinize data for detecting threats. It allows customers to borrow computing powers from Microsoft to crunch the information instead of purchasing and maintaining expensive servers.

Microsoft Sentinel will help you deliver cloud-native security operations as mentioned below:

Easily gather data across your enterprise
 
Using Microsoft Sentinel, you can aggregate all security data. For example, you can download a customer’s Office cloud data and combine it with security information to find threats. Microsoft Sentinel can be integrated with Microsoft Graph Security API, which enables you to import your own threat intelligence feeds. So, you can customize threat detection and alert rules.
AI power to analyze and identify threats quickly
 
Sentinel uses highly scalable machine learning algorithms to associate a large number of low fidelity anomalies to present a few high fidelity security incidents to the analyst. Using machine learning, you can quickly derive values from large amounts of security data that you have consumed, thus helping you easily connect the dots. Microsoft Sentinel has the ability to connect to user activity and behavior data from Microsoft 365 security products.
 
Track any suspicious activities
 
 By using graphical and AI-based investigation, you can reduce the time taken to understand the entire scope of an attack and its impact on your whole system. It’s possible to automate the process by which SecOps collect and analyze data (which is a repeatable process). Microsoft Sentinel provides capabilities that enable you to automate your analysis by building hunting queries and Azure Notebooks (based on Jupyter notebooks). 
 
Automate repetitive tasks and threat response
 

AI obviously sharpens your focus on discovering problems. But once you solve a particular kind of issue, you don’t expect to keep finding the same problems again and again. Microsoft Sentinel provides built-in automation and orchestration with pre-defined or custom playbooks to solve repetitive tasks and to respond to threats quickly. It can enhance the existing enterprise defense and tools used for probe.
