Microsoft Azure Sentinel, coupled with Insight’s expertise and services for Azure Sentinel, are designed to meet that challenge head-on,” said Shawn O’Grady, senior vice president and general manager, Cloud + Data Center Transformation, at Insight.

“Insight helps clients design a solution and streamline deployment so clients can quickly take advantage of Microsoft Azure Sentinel features, such as a cloud-native architecture, the ability to collect security data across the entire hybrid enterprise, and built-in artificial intelligence that can identify security threats before they cause harm. From strategy and design to deployment and day-to-day management, Insight helps clients address an increasingly complex threatscape,” said O’Grady.

Insight’s services for Azure Sentinel include:
