Solution Spotlight
BlueVoyant Core: MDR for Microsoft
(Managed Detection and Response)
Microsoft SIEM plus XDR
Implementation and Management
New approaches to cybersecurity are needed more than ever.
The exponential growth in remote employees and the acceleration of digital transformation initiatives have expanded the attack surface for companies big and small. Security teams that are already stretched struggle to connect and construct integrated technology solutions from multiple vendors, many of which were only designed to operate in legacy environments. These integration complexities, combined with a lack of security resources and training, can force painful compromises, and the unrelenting attacks from cyber criminals make securing the organization a seemingly unattainable goal.
Today’s sophisticated cyber attacks are no longer exclusive to endpoints. They are multifaceted and target identities, email, infrastructure, cloud platforms, servers, databases, and more. Endpoint-centric detection and response solutions alone do not provide the visibility and response capabilities required to identify and neutralize broader attacks.
A cloud-native, fully-integrated security solution helps companies operate safely in today’s interconnected world. To bring this vision to life and help our clients achieve their business and security outcomes, BlueVoyant has partnered with Microsoft. In addition to making a significant investment in people, process, and technology, BlueVoyant offers clients an end-to-end portfolio of consulting, implementation, and managed security services, all powered by Microsoft’s security technologies and designed to expand on your existing Microsoft security tools investment. We call this automation portfolio and 24x7 human security services BlueVoyant Core: MDR for Microsoft SIEM plus XDR.
Your data is the lifeblood of your business. With data privacy now front and center globally and the costs of cloud consumption rapidly increasing, customers want their data to stay within their environment. While other Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) require security data to be sent to their infrastructure and data centers for analysis, BlueVoyant’s service allows you to keep your security data in your own environment, reducing cost and ensuring stronger compliance.
MDR for Microsoft SIEM plus XDR provides a complete portfolio of Microsoft security-focused services, including a customized
deployment of Microsoft security tools, ongoing management and maintenance, as well as 24x7 MDR, protecting you from cyber
threats and providing continuous security posture improvement.
