83% of organizations experience more than one data breach in their lifetime.1 |
Cybersecurity is a constantly shifting landscape. As our digital world continues to grow, so do the risks. According to research, 20% of data breaches are due to internal actors with an average cost of $15.4 million when a malicious insider is involved.1 Data leaks and theft might have been overshadowed by external threats in the past. However, they’ve become common vulnerabilities organizations need to address. Data security incidents can happen anytime anywhere.1

“With everything running through Microsoft Sentinel, we’ve reduced the time spent on case management and resolution of alerts by approximately 50 percent”
-Stuart Gregg, Cyber Security Operations Lead, ASOS
As IT becomes more strategic, the importance of security grows daily. Security information and event management (SIEM) solutions built for yesterday’s environments struggle to keep pace with today’s challenges—let alone tomorrow’s unimagined risks.
That’s why Microsoft developed Microsoft Sentinel, a fully cloud-native SIEM.
See and stop threats before they cause harm with a Microsoft Sentinel Engagement
Microsoft Sentinel 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 a Microsoft Sentinel Engagement.
Choose the approach that’s best for you
Every organization is different, so this engagement can be customized to fit your environment and goals. We can provide either of two scenarios:
Remote monitoring
If your organization doesn’t have its own security operations center (SOC) or if you want to offload some monitoring tasks, we will demonstrate how Insight can perform remote monitoring and threat hunting for you.
Joint threat exploration
If your organization is interested in learning how to integrate Microsoft Sentinel in your existing SOC by replacing or augmenting an existing SIEM, we will work with your SecOps team and provide additional readiness to bring them up to speed.
Engagement objectives
Though this engagement, we will work with you to:
- Discover threats to your Microsoft 365 cloud and on-premises environments across email, identity and data.
- Understand how to mitigate threats by showing how Microsoft 365 and Azure security products can help mitigate and protect against threats that are found.
- Plan next steps and provide information to build a business case for a production deployment of Microsoft Sentinel including a technical deployment roadmap.
In addition, depending on the selected scenario, you will also:
- Experience the benefits of a managed SIEM with a true cloud native SIEM, managed and monitored by our cybersecurity experts. (Remote Monitoring scenario)
- Receive hands-on experience, learn how to discover and analyze threats using Microsoft Sentinel and how to automate your Security Operations to make it more effective. (Joint Threat Exploration scenario)

Microsoft Teams Maturity Assessment

Business challenge
Microsoft® 365™, especially Microsoft Teams®, has exploded in popularity due to the recent unprecedented increases in remote work. Many organizations have therefore been forced to rapidly enable Microsoft Teams and other Microsoft 365 services with less planning and governance controls implemented than desired.
This can lead to large sprawling information architectures, limited ownership and accountability, silos and inconsistencies. It also presents significant risks from information-security and compliance perspectives.

Microsoft Teams Voice Deployment
Summary
Calling in Microsoft® Teams® starts with Microsoft Phone System which provides the calling features every organization needs. Microsoft offers two ways to connect Microsoft Teams to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN):
- Microsoft Direct Routing: Your organization procures Phone System licenses from Microsoft to provide Private Branch Exchange (PBX) services but keeps your own telecom trunking to the PSTN.
- Microsoft Calling Plans: Your organization procures both Phone System licensing and PSTN trunks (called Calling Plans) from Microsoft.
Deployment decisions for using cloud voice features in Microsoft Teams may be dependent on multiple factors, including the upgrade and migration from legacy telephony infrastructure, resulting interoperability requirements and even the underlying network architecture’s capabilities to support voice traffic. Insight assists with a deployment that minimizes risk, time, cost and complexity while ensuring a seamless experience for end customers.
What’s included Insight subject matter experts provide:
- Discovery of existing telephony infrastructure and dependencies
- Workshops to gather business and technical requirements
- Configuration of Microsoft Teams Voice and associated services
- Training and communication plan”. Is there a reason this was capitalized? Unless it’s the official name of something, it should be lower-case
