Vision: Freedom and Security

The Transformation
Start with the basics
Start with the basics
When it comes to increasing a company’s security level, it is important to start with the basic configuration of workstations and servers. This can reduce vulnerabilities in the configuration and application landscape. The Microsoft Security Baselines are a good starting point, and with the addition of threat and vulnerability management, which is integrated into Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, these can also be operationalized in the long term.
Defense in Depth
Defense in Depth
The solutions Microsoft Defender and Azure Defender help protect the entire attack chain on multiple levels. Even during the project duration, numerous smaller attacks could be observed and responded to accordingly. A major advantage of the products from the Microsoft Security Center is the holistic perspective and good collaboration. This way, the entire environment can be protected. Additionally, the various levels ensure that the environment remains secure even if an attack bypasses the alert system.
Smart operation with automation
Smart operation with automation
A quick and correct response to incidents and alarms is essential. Azure Logic Apps helps in transferring information to the internal service management tool to improve the company’s operations. This way, existing escalation processes can be utilized, and technicians can work with existing interfaces. Handover workshops support the security team through knowledge transfer and the creation of documented operation manuals for specific use cases.
License benefits
License benefits
The transition from traditional multi-vendor solutions to a simplified and highly integrated security architecture that can support both on-premise and cloud environments based on Microsoft 365 E5 Security and Azure Defender also brings cost advantages. Compared to licensing individual components, the Microsoft Suite has optimized costs for Sigvaris. Thanks to the created roadmap, Sigvaris was even able to benefit from cost savings by initially licensing individual components until the break-even point was reached.
Leading companies rely on us.
