The best place to start is with a BlueVoyant SecOps Diagnostics. We’ll help you pick an area where you want to start on your security journey, such as securing the cloud, E5 adoption, or exploring the costs and benefits of using Sentinel and MXDR. You meet a couple of times with BlueVoyant experts, and they review what you have and where you want to go.  From there, we help you build a move-forward plan and even assist you with understanding costs.

The onboarding process is hand-tailored to meet the requirements of the client. Depending on size and complexity, deployment typically takes between 3 to 6 weeks but can be shorter or longer. Once we engage with the client, we can give a closer estimate.

VENZO MXDR is backed by BlueVoyant, Microsoft’s Number 1 Security MSSP Worldwide. IT Service consolidation reduces costs and complexity. Having one unified supplier for everything IT, including cybersecurity, makes both operational and fiscal sense – especially when you’re working with the best of both.

One unified supplier to handle nearly all your IT requirements – including security. You get the best of both worlds from the leading suppliers. You can now start to focus on more strategic business initiatives and let us handle the day-to-day of your IT operations.

When compared to basic in-house security teams and their capabilities, there are many benefits to using a leading MDR service like BlueVoyant.

2. Security services are informed by security and threat activities across hundreds of environments – not limited to one.
3. Access to highly experienced and Microsoft-certified security experts and proprietary threat intelligence feeds.
4. Includes expert-led threat hunting and eradication of highly sophisticated and hidden threats.
5. Internal security teams can focus on strategic issues
6. Security becomes highly scalable to meet any demand and requirement.
7. End-to-end security consolidation reduces costs and complexity.
8. Security, maintenance, and upgrades are included and never missed.
9. Security and content are continually enhanced and enriched to detect and halt new and upcoming threats.
10. Services can include forensics, compliance management, and incident response.
11. Services can be expanded to include supply chain and dark web threats – and more

Traditional security is done in-house and is limited to the knowledge, tools, and experience of the team. Because today’s threats are very sophisticated, built by bad actors who are experts, and use AI and ML, most in-house teams don’t have what’s needed to detect them. Because they don’t have all the required capabilities, they can either be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of alerts or, worse, allow a subtle threat indicator to slip past.

In general, clients should have Microsoft E5, Defender XDR, and Sentinel to get started.

AI is a game changer and BlueVoyant will be announcing services to help people get started.

Moreover, it helps to start thinking sooner than later about who on your Microsoft security team can leverage Copilot for Security and for what use cases.  Through our experience with Copilot, we’ve created some use cases that can help you jump-start your planning process and Copilot for Security adoption.

The vast majority of alerts are actually closed using BlueVoyant automation. Those that are more unique are handled by BlueVoyant’s SOC based on pre-determined and client-pre-approved response actions – such as isolating an endpoint. If something happens beyond those response actions, the client is notified and works with the BlueVoyant security team to take further action.

For VENZO MXDR (Powered by BlueVoyant), the size is usually 600 endpoints and more. Some of our clients (outside of Denmark) have over 100,000 endpoints – so there is really no maximum limit.

We know data privacy and retaining control are important. Rather than you send your valuable and sometimes regulated security data to a partner and they send back raw alerts, BlueVoyant Microsoft security experts operate inside your environment, analyzing data, enriching incidents, raising alerts, and closing incidents directly within your Microsoft Sentinel environment. When they develop IP, it’s done inside your tenant – and that’s where it stays. Unlike with many other suppliers, with BlueVoyant, you have complete visibility in real-time, as they work to protect your organization from threats both inside and out.

Wavelength™ (BlueVoyant’s Client Portal):  Wavelength is a web-based portal that provides real-time visibility to detected alerts and confirmed incidents. It enables approved employees to interact with BlueVoyant’s security operations center analysts, view all detected assets, and if applicable, view vulnerabilities.  Because BlueVoyant uses your Sentinel deployment, all your Microsoft tools can be used to see what BlueVoyant is doing in real time.
