We’re a Microsoft certified partner specializing in cybersecurity. We use Microsoft’s market-leading cybersecurity products to deliver managed services.

Check below for more information regarding key activities we perform as part of our services.

Zero Trust Security (ZTS)

Monitor and respond to cyberattacks on identities, devices, apps, data, infrastructure, and network using Azure AD, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Microsoft Sentinel.

tech-cycle-zero-trust-security-01
  • Monitor identities for strong authentication, least privilege access, and anomalous behavior
  • Monitor device health and compliance for secure access
  • Monitor apps for abnormal behavior, user actions, and secure configuration options
  • Monitor for data access policy violations and data loss prevention (DLP) incidents
  • Monitor version, configuration, and JIT access to VMs, containers, and micro services
  • Monitor network controls to detect attackers from moving laterally across the network

Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

Monitor, investigate, triage and mitigate cybersecurity threats on endpoints, including advanced threat-hunting techniques using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

tech-cycle-xdr-microsoft-sentinel01
  • Organize incidents queue to prioritize and perform risk-informed cybersecurity incident management activities
  • Quickly analyze incident details including affected machines, logs, system files, IP addresses, domains, user accounts, etc. with the help of AI-driven insights
  • Triage alerts with additional business context such as data sensitivity, threat intel, etc.
  • Determine specific remediation steps to address incidents
  • Perform both automated and manual containment and mitigation activities to resolve incidents immediately
  • Provide resiliency and improvement recommendations as part of ongoing cybersecurity monitoring

Virtual Security Operations Center (SOC)​

Collect and analyze security data from multiple security tools, network, endpoints, cloud services, etc. to detect and respond to threats with security orchestration and automation using Microsoft Sentinel
