Not every organization has the capacity nor the expertise to have a dedicated security operations team. Others may need a second set of eyes to review alerts in their network or simply want to ensure that they keep up with the latest techniques being used by adversaries. Some may want an additional assessment of their security posture or just need some evaluation of possible vulnerabilities in their network, while others need immediate help on ongoing breach.
Microsoft security services, together with a vast network of partners help address these challenges across global regions for public companies, private industries, and government entities to help protect against the most sophisticated adversaries.
