Microsoft SentinelSecurity Operations
A unified security operations platform bringing SIEM and XDR into one experience.
Microsoft’s unified security operations platform brings Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM) and Microsoft Defender XDR into one experience — a single portal for detection, investigation, and response across the whole estate, with a shared incident queue, hunting, and Security Copilot. It ends the tool-switching that slows SOCs. Faltrox operates it as the unified core of a managed SOC.
Overview
What Security Operations is
SOCs have long juggled a SIEM and separate XDR and point tools, switching consoles and losing context between them. Microsoft’s unified security operations platform ends that by bringing Sentinel (SIEM) and Defender XDR into one experience — one portal, one incident queue, and shared hunting and response across endpoints, identity, email, cloud, and third-party data.
It unifies broad SIEM data collection with deep first-party XDR detection, a single correlated incident queue, unified advanced hunting, and generative-AI assistance through Security Copilot — so analysts investigate and respond in one place with full context. It shifts the SOC from tool-switching to a coherent operation. Faltrox operates it as the unified core of the managed SOC it runs.

Works with
Part of the platform
Microsoft products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Microsoft Security Operations for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What is the unified security operations platform?
It brings Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM) and Microsoft Defender XDR into one experience — a single portal, one correlated incident queue, and shared hunting and response — so the SOC works in one place instead of switching between a SIEM and separate XDR and point tools.
02Why combine SIEM and XDR?
SIEM provides broad data collection and correlation across the whole estate; XDR provides deep first-party detection across Microsoft workloads. Unifying them gives both breadth and depth in one incident queue, so analysts see the full picture without losing context between tools.
03What does Security Copilot add?
Generative-AI assistance that summarises incidents, explains scripts and code, guides investigation, and accelerates response — helping analysts of any level work faster within the unified platform. Faltrox uses it to speed the SOC we run.
04Does it cover third-party data too?
Yes — through Sentinel’s connectors it correlates Microsoft and third-party data in one operation, so the unified platform covers a mixed-vendor estate, not just Microsoft workloads.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We run the unified platform as the coherent core of the managed SOC we deliver — correlating SIEM and XDR, hunting across all data, and driving investigation and response with Security Copilot in one place.
