Azure security services

Azure security services find and fix weak spots in your Azure estate, then watch it for threats. We set up Microsoft Defender for Cloud to check your configuration and protect workloads, and Microsoft Sentinel to collect security logs and detect attacks. It starts with a free assessment and a look at your secure score.

  • A secure score review in Defender for Cloud
  • Protection for servers, storage and databases
  • Microsoft Sentinel for detection and response

Questions

What's the difference between Defender for Cloud and Sentinel?

Defender for Cloud checks how your cloud resources are set up and protects workloads such as servers, storage and databases. Sentinel is a SIEM: it collects security data from many sources and groups alerts into incidents. Defender for Cloud alerts are free to bring into Sentinel.

Is Defender for Cloud free?

Partly. Its foundational posture management, including secure score and the Microsoft cloud security benchmark, is free. Paid Defender plans add advanced posture tools and threat protection for servers, storage, databases and more.

What happens to Sentinel in the Azure portal?

After 31 March 2027, Microsoft Sentinel is supported only in the Microsoft Defender portal. Microsoft advises planning the move now.

How is Microsoft Sentinel charged?

Mainly per GB of data it takes in, pay-as-you-go or in commitment tiers from 100 GB a day. Some data is free, such as Azure Activity logs and Defender alerts. Your assessment estimates the cost.

What does the work cost?

The assessment is free. Any further work comes with a written proposal and price first.
