Azure Sentinel SOC & MDR

Our clients say it's UK’s most advanced 24x7 Microsoft Sentinel based SOC service. We call it the Cyber Defence Centre (CDC).

A Complete SOC Service

A comprehensive suite of technologies combined with Microsoft’s Sentinel and a 24×7 monitoring and response from our expert SOC team based in Milton Keynes; empowered by our Microsoft Gold Partner status, Azure Experts and 15 years in Cyber Security to give you complete peace of mind.

Microsoft Azure Sentinel

Microsoft Azure log sources are ingested free of charge and overall consumption is charged monthly meaning that you only pay for what you use without a prohibitive upfront cost. Comtact’s SOC team will monitor your environment 24/7, identifying suspicious activity and leveraging Microsoft’s strength in AI and Machine Learning to mitigate threats.

Security information event management (SIEM)

Focusing on mid-market clients where internal resources are stretched, budgets are being cut yet improving security is a business priority, Comtact’s CDC delivers excellent SIEM monitoring services at a price point never previously available.

Security orchestration automated response (SOAR)

Azure Sentinel’s SOAR solution provides a highly-extensible architecture that enables scalable automation to spot threats as they emerge. This allows our SOC team to identify threats faster and cut resolution times by nearly 50%. With more than 200 connectors it can take feeds from nearly all of the Cyber Security platform vendors, providing you with that single pane of glass across your estate

Connect to your entire estate

To on-board Azure Sentinel, you first need to connect to your security sources. Azure Sentinel comes with numerous connectors for Microsoft solutions, providing real-time integration, including Microsoft 365 Defender solutions, Office 365, Azure AD, Microsoft Defender for Identity, and Microsoft Cloud App Security.

In addition to the core managed SIEM service, CDC integrates market leading technology vendors to enrich the protection of your business and reduce costs:

Endpoint Protection/Endpoint Detection & Response

Comtact’s CDC integrates information from your endpoint estate, providing the deepest visibility possible. With strategic relationships including SentinelOne – one of the world’s leading EDR providers – Comtact’s CDC team will deliver coverage, visibility, and actionable intelligence to protect your organisation 24/7.

To overcome this challenge, Comtact delivers Continuous Vulnerability Scanning as part of the Cyber Defence Centre SOC service. You can rest-assured knowing that your environment is constantly being scanned, freeing internal resource to focus on more productive tasks.

I have a SIEM; why should I consider CDC?

SIEM solutions have traditionally been costly and require a significant level of monitoring/tuning. CDC combines Comtact’s expert 24/7 service desk with the latest technology, providing you with the best cyber coverage at a lower cost than traditional solutions.

How does Microsoft Azure Sentinel make a difference to me?

Microsoft Azure Sentinel is the world’s first cloud native SIEM which powers Comtact’s CDC. There are no up-front costs and log consumption is calculated monthly, meaning you only pay for what you consume. Microsoft Office 365 and Azure logs are consumed free-of-charge, plus you benefit from Microsoft’s massive investment in AI and automation. Our aim is to give you the latest technology and best service at an unbeatable price.
