Organizations today face a growing volume of data and alerts while dealing with tight budgets and vulnerable legacy systems. Which is why they need the security partners with the right tools that can help them make the correct security choice for their environment, and this is where Trustwave Microsoft Security Threat Protection and Sentinel Engagements (also referred to as Modern Work and Modern SecOps) come into play.
Why Consider a Microsoft Engagement as a First Step?
A Microsoft Engagement will help an organization gain visibility into its SecOps team/ecosystem/environment, help the organization get the most out of its Microsoft investment, and help accelerate its security journey.
When the engagement is completed, the client leaves with a more mature SecOps posture, something beneficial regardless of any follow-up decisions.
Trustwave Microsoft Engagements can help clients develop a customized strategic plan, based on the recommendations of Microsoft experts in security. This gives visibility into immediate threats across email, identity, and data, plus clarity and support on how to remediate vulnerabilities and upgrade your security posture for the long term.
A Sentinel engagement delivers intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the enterprise, providing a single solution for alert detection, threat visibility, proactive hunting, and threat response. Get an overview of Microsoft Sentinel along with insights on active threats to your Microsoft 365 cloud and on-premises environments with Microsoft Sentinel engagements offered by Trustwave.
A Few Details on Engagements
The engagements are open to any current or potential Trustwave customer that is now using or evaluating the possible use of Microsoft security products. These would include Microsoft E3 customers looking at Microsoft security or E5 customers interested in seeing how Microsoft security could help them.
There is no limit to the number of people who can attend an engagement. Still, a potential attendee should keep in mind that the event is designed for a technical audience and the security team, so those attending should be involved in those categories.
An engagement should involve a client executive sponsor/stakeholder who owns the business case, will help keep the project aligned with the organization's strategy, portfolio direction, governs project risk, and focuses on realization of benefits. Security decision-makers who fall into this category include Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Security Officers (CSOs), IT Security Architects, IT Security Administrators, and IT Security Operations (Sec Ops) personnel.
A Threat Protection Engagement
Trustwave offers a Threat Protection Engagement program designed to help clients improve their security posture. Through this engagement, Trustwave examines your environment and uses not only that information to develop a strategic plan customized, but adds in the recommendations of Microsoft security experts.
This combination provides visibility into immediate threats across email, identity, and data, plus clarity and support on how to remediate vulnerabilities and upgrade your security posture for the long-term.
How a Threat Protection Engagement Works
During the Threat Protection Engagement, the Trustwave team works with you to identify and review your security goals and objectives, while ensuring these align with your business needs.
The critical aspect of the engagement involves identifying real threats and discovering vulnerabilities that may exist within your environment. These threats are then mapped to previously identified threats and vulnerabilities and then to specific solution recommendations, providing a clear path forward for remediation.
Trustwave then assists in developing joint plans and works with the client to agree on the next steps to be taken, thus ensuring a collaborative approach to enhancing your security posture.
Recognizing the need for stakeholder and C-suite, if not Board support, clients receive assistance to properly document the newly developed security strategy. This will not only keep others informed but facilitate better communication and understanding across the organization.
Long-term recommendations from Microsoft experts about your security strategy, with key initiatives and tactical next steps.
Microsoft Sentinel Engagements
Trustwave also offers a Microsoft Sentinel Engagement. This interactive session is designed to help clients gain a bird’s eye view across their environment.
Microsoft Sentinel delivers security analytics and threat intelligence across an enterprise, providing a single solution for alert detection, threat visibility, proactive hunting, and threat response.
The Microsoft Sentinel Engagements highlights include:
- Understanding the features and benefits of Microsoft Sentinel
- Gaining visibility into threats across email, identity, and data
- Better understanding, prioritizing, and mitigating potential threat vectors
- Creating a defined deployment roadmap based on your environment and goals
- Developing joint plans and next steps
Trustwave’s role is to customize this engagement to fit your environment so you can gain the insights necessary to make an informed decision about your security practices.
The engagement will help you discover threats to your Microsoft 365 cloud and on-premises environments across email, identity, and data. You will gain an understanding of how to mitigate these threats by leveraging Microsoft 365 and Azure security products, which can help protect against identified vulnerabilities. Furthermore, Trustwave will assist you in planning the next steps and provide the necessary information to build a strong business case for the production deployment of Microsoft Sentinel, including a technical deployment roadmap.
Depending on the selected scenario, you will also experience the benefits of a managed SIEM or receive hands-on experience learning how to discover and analyze threats using Microsoft Sentinel and how to automate your Security Operations.
