100% Microsoft funding available – no cost

A PROOF OF VALUE, FUNDED BY MICROSOFT

Find your gaps. Microsoft picks up the bill.

Email threats, endpoint gaps, identity blind spots. Working it out yourself is the natural first step, but it’s often the most expensive one, spending your own budget only to find there’s still a gap left to fix.

Microsoft MCI Threat Protection is a funded engagement, delivered by CloudGuard, uncovering threats hiding across your email, identities, and endpoints, in your real environment, not a demo. You walk away with a clear report and a set of next steps, funded by Microsoft, at no cost to you.

The Problem

Overwhelming security gaps. Frustrating integration issues. Conflicting priorities.

An unclear view of your Microsoft 365 cloud and on-premise environments can lead to:

Limited threat visibility

Without this service, your business might struggle with incomplete or fragmented views of security threats across your IT environments, leaving critical vulnerabilities undetected and increasing your risk of cyberattacks.

Ineffective risk prioritisation

Without proper guidance on prioritising risks, you could waste valuable resources addressing less critical issues while more pressing threats go unmitigated, potentially leading to greater security breaches.

Integration challenges

Without a seamless integration process, your new security solutions may not work well with your existing systems, creating gaps in your security coverage and complicating your overall management efforts.

Lack of continuous improvement

Without a structured plan for ongoing improvement, your cybersecurity measures may become outdated quickly, failing to adapt to new threats and evolving business needs, which can leave your organisation vulnerable over time.

Use cases

One exercise. Multiple outcomes.

Enhancing your security visibility

During the six-week Threat Protection Engagement, CloudGuard deploys Microsoft Sentinel and Defender to provide a comprehensive overview of your security landscape.

By temporarily integrating these powerful tools, you gain a clear view of potential threats and vulnerabilities across your cloud and on-premises environments.

This detailed visibility helps you identify critical issues that may otherwise go unnoticed, helping you to make informed decisions to strengthen your cybersecurity posture.

Proactive threat detection

With CloudGuard’s deployment of Microsoft Sentinel and Defender, you can detect and monitor threats in real-time over the five-day period.

The solution actively scans your email, identity, servers, endpoints, and data to identify potential risks. This proactive approach allows you to uncover hidden threats before they can escalate, giving you a head start in securing your operations.

At the end of the six-weeks, you receive a detailed report outlining any detected threats and recommended actions.

Ensuring compliance and managing risks

CloudGuard’s temporary deployment helps you ensure compliance and manage risks effectively.

By running Microsoft Sentinel and Defender in your environment, you can quickly identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could lead to non-compliance with industry regulations.

The detailed report generated at the end of the engagement provides you with actionable insights to address these risks, helping you protect your business and avoid potential penalties.

Improving incident response readiness

CloudGuard’s Threat Protection Engagement improves your incident response capabilities by providing a real-world test of your environment’s security posture.

By deploying Microsoft Sentinel and Defender, you can assess how well your current systems detect and respond to potential threats.

The engagement concludes with a comprehensive report, offering recommendations to improve your response strategies, ensuring you’re better prepared for any future incidents.

Operational Resilience and Readiness Planning
