Detection & response.
Sentinel and Defender deployments that produce real signal, not analyst burnout. Detection engineering tuned to actual adversary behavior, with playbooks that the on-call engineer can execute at three in the morning.
Build and tune a Microsoft-native SOC, then hand it off operable.
Microsoft Sentinel deployment.
Greenfield Sentinel build with data connectors prioritized by detection value, not by what is easy to enable. Cost-aware ingestion design so you do not discover the bill three months in.
- Connector strategy aligned to threat priorities and budget envelope
- Workspace topology: regional layout, RBAC, retention tiering
- Analytics rules library (Microsoft baseline plus custom), tuned to reduce false positives
- Workbooks and watchlists for the security operations team
- Automation rules and Logic App playbooks for high-confidence alerts
- Cost monitoring dashboards and ingestion guardrails
Defender for Cloud rollout.
Defender plans turned on with intent, with secure score progressed in waves and findings actioned rather than ignored. Includes Defender for Servers, Containers, Storage, SQL, App Service, Key Vault, and ARM.
- Defender plan enablement strategy by workload type, with cost projections
- Secure score remediation sprints prioritized by risk and effort
- Just-in-time VM access, adaptive application controls, and file integrity monitoring
- Container scanning, registry hardening, and runtime threat detection
- Integration into Sentinel and your ticketing tool
Detection engineering sprint.
Focused engagement to design, build, test, and document custom detections for threats specific to your environment. Detections live in source control alongside your other infrastructure, with tests and rollback paths.
- Threat-informed detection backlog mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and your crown jewels
- KQL detections authored, tested with sample data, and version-controlled
- Automation playbooks for enrichment, triage, and containment
- Runbook for each detection: what fires, why, what to do, what to escalate
- Pipeline so future detections deploy through CI/CD, not the portal
Security operations as code.
Treat your SOC like a software platform. Sentinel content, analytics rules, automation, and Defender configuration all expressed as code, reviewed in pull requests, and deployed through pipelines.
- Repository structure and module library for Sentinel content and Defender plans
- CI/CD pipeline with linting, testing in a non-production workspace, and gated promotion
- Drift detection and reconciliation between environments
- Onboarding documentation so analysts can contribute detections via PR
