BT launches a new range of managed security and advisory services for Microsoft Azure Sentinel

BT has announced a new range of fully managed security and advisory services to support Microsoft Azure Sentinel. These are the first in a series of managed security services offered by BT to support Microsoft’s cloud-based applications, with the details being announced as part of Microsoft’s Inspire digital partner event.

BT is one of the first Microsoft Managed Security Service Providers to have been selected for the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), with the two companies sharing a common vision for cloud services and offering market-leading security capabilities as the need for flexible and scalable technology solutions drive cloud adoption.

BT will provide a managed service for Azure Sentinel’s scalable, cloud-native, security information event management (SIEM) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) solution. The BT-managed service includes alert detection, threat visibility and threat response by combining data from the Azure Sentinel workspace with BT’s own expertise and extensive threat intelligence gained from protecting one of the world’s largest global networks. Customers will also benefit from BT’s Security Advisory Services which offer expert guidance to help organisations navigate today’s complex cybersecurity landscape.

Using advanced cybersecurity tools, BT’s 16 global Security Operations Centres monitor data ingested into a customer’s Azure Sentinel workspace. BT’s cybersecurity experts will detect, analyse and mitigate threats across the customer’s Microsoft estate, working closely with incident response teams to protect customer data. The service is available to a wide range of businesses and organisations spanning different industries across the globe.
