We can take complete responsibility for the security of your cloud environment with our range of Sentinel based MDR services, or work with you to improve your defence posture.
Threat detection and response
We defend against threats by building in security by default. We prevent threats by configuring Sentinel to best practice proactively detect threats and immediately respond 24/7. Unlike most MSPs, who just identify threats, ANS can actively remediate incidents for you.
Sentinel management and integration
We continually manage, maintain and optimise your Sentinel environment. Our engineers ensure fully compliant integration with your infrastructure. They ensure it is automated and orchestrated to best practice.
Security Orchestration and Automated Response [SOAR]
Our Security Checked [SC] analysts can create SOAR rules and playbooks, based on Microsoft best practice, and configure them in Sentinel. Should an incident occur, our analysts in our UK SOC will provide real time response.
Management portal
You get a single, clear view of all your environments through our real-time management portal, Glass. You can quickly raise tickets, make changes and manage your cloud spend.
Threat Intelligence
ANS utilise a number of threat intelligence feeds to enrich incidents and alerts as well as inform the SOC team and our customers of active threats actors and campaigns in place that are targeting your industry area or government sector. Currently threat intelligence utilised by ANS include:
- Microsoft Threat Intelligence – included with Defender XDR and utilised by ANS SOC
- GroupIB – offering sector focussed (e.g. Local Government) threat intelligence and reporting.
- Mandiant – Providing enrichment to incidents in the ANS SOAR platform.
- Virus Total – Providing severity and prioritising intelligence to the ANS SOC
