Modern security operations

Alert volume is not the same as threat coverage. When signals lack context and response ownership is unclear, important incidents compete with noise. Build a security operating model that connects relevant telemetry, useful detections, and accountable action.

Capabilities

Assess triage, investigation, escalation, and handoffs against priority business threats.
Select Sentinel data sources with explicit coverage, ingestion-cost, and retention requirements.
Engineer and tune detections using Defender XDR context and representative investigation scenarios.
Pilot Security Copilot for evidence summaries and investigation assistance, with analyst validation and scoped access.
Design response automation with approval gates for disruptive actions and recoverable failure paths.
Exercise runbooks, capture lessons, and establish a recurring detection-improvement process.

Deliverables

A threat-coverage and operating-model assessment identifying gaps, bottlenecks, and ownership.
A prioritized detection backlog with data dependencies, tuning criteria, and validation scenarios.
Investigation and response runbooks with evidence requirements, escalation paths, and approvals.
An operations handover and scorecard covering alert quality, investigation time, and detection health.

Business value

Help analysts spend effort on actionable incidents and make response decisions more consistent. Establish baselines for investigation quality, escalation timeliness, and detection gaps before setting service-improvement targets.

Start with a security operations modernization roadmap.

Bring data-source inventories, recurring alert examples, current workflows, and operational constraints. Start with priority detection scenarios. Monitoring hours, incident response, and service targets require a separate explicit agreement.
