Microsoft Sentinel FAQs

Microsoft Sentinel is the first cloud-native Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system produced by a major cloud provider. Here we answer the questions commonly asked by our customers and provide guidance on the security benefits that Microsoft Sentinel can deliver to your organisation.

Clarity Defend is powered by Microsoft Sentinel, offering a rapid time-to-value and comprehensive handling of cyber incidents to containment. Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM platform that gives you an overview of your entire estate’s cyber security posture, allowing users to find and respond to active threats before they cause significant harm.

Yes, Microsoft Sentinel will fully integrate with your company’s existing toolset, allowing users to connect to, and collect data from, all your company’s sources including users, servers, applications and any devices running on-premises or in the cloud. Microsoft Sentinel integrates with existing business applications, other security products and even custom-built tools.

The largest benefit to having a cloud-based SIEM is cost. An on-premises solution is, generally, a very costly endeavour, and this factor is often underestimated when it comes to setting a budget. Aside from the large up-front costs of setting up the on-premises SIEM, there are ongoing costs with regards to updates and maintenance, additional hardware, servers and storage, as well as the SIEM team members’ salaries.

That said, some organisations do still prefer some of the benefits afforded by an on-premises SIEM in comparison to its cloud-based counterpart. The main factor here is security. As the SIEM is an on-site solution, all sensitive company data is completely held on-site and there is nothing sensitive stored in the cloud. This type of solution also gives the organisation complete control over all aspects of the SIEM – it is important to note, however, that this is only really a viable option where there are employees in place with the necessary skills, knowledge and expertise to manage such a complex solution. A cloud-based SIEM comes with a dedicated team of industry professionals who already possess the required levels of knowledge and expertise.
