Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR: Security for Your Cloud Environment

Security in the Cloud: A Shared Responsibility

In a Microsoft 365 environment, security is a shared responsibility between Microsoft and your organization. Microsoft takes care of platform security, but configuration, management, and monitoring are your responsibility. Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR assist you with this.

Microsoft Sentinel: Cloud-based SIEM

Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-based SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform. It collects logs and events from your entire Microsoft 365 environment, analyzes them with AI, and detects anomalies and threats in real-time. Through Analytics Rules, you can detect specific scenarios and respond automatically.

Microsoft Defender XDR: Comprehensive Protection

Defender XDR combines multiple Defender products: Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, Defender for Identity, and Defender for Cloud Apps. Together, they provide protection at the endpoint, mail, identity, and application levels — with a single centralized view.

Monitoring as Part of Connectivity

At 365 Angels, we integrate Sentinel and Defender XDR into your Connectivity foundation. We configure the dashboards, set up alerts, and ensure you always have insight into the security status of your environment.
