A solid foundation for security: Azure Sentinel secures ‘leader’ status in the 2020 Forrester Wave

As a longstanding, award-winning Microsoft partner, it’s only natural that Azure Sentinel forms a key part of ThirdSpace’s holistic security offering – the SIEM at the heart of our Threat Monitoring and Incident Response Service.

This managed security service offers a helping hand and peace of mind – enabling your SecOps team to identify threats quickly and respond fast!

A win for client confidence in Microsoft security

It’s no secret that organisations are struggling to recruit skilled cyber security professionals.

For those lucky enough to have a SecOps team, they are often overwhelmed and ineffectual – inundated with security alerts, with most of their time spent managing infrastructure, log checking and reporting. As a result, too many legitimate threats go unnoticed.

Martin Webley, Head of Security Operations at ThirdSpace, said “Independent endorsement from organisations such as Forrester instils great confidence in the market around Microsoft’s joined-up approach to modern cyber security challenges.”

“Microsoft has firmly established itself as a leader in the security space and our managed service offering built on Sentinel provides clients with the peace of mind that they are getting access to a best-in-breed platform.”

With our Threat Monitoring and Incident Response Service, clients can scale up protection for all their cloud infrastructure, without the hassle and costs of running their own inhouse SIEM.

This has proven to be a huge benefit for the organisations we talk to, allowing them to save money on recruiting, training, and retaining skilled staff – as well as capital investments and infrastructure. Their IT teams focus on real threats and incident response.
