EMPOWERING UNIFIED SECURITYOverview

Wizard Cyber engaged with a prominent industrial engineering company to deliver a Modern Security Operations Envisioning Workshop. The goal was to assess their current cybersecurity defenses, and demonstrate how Microsoft’s Unified Security Operations Platform can reinforce their detection, response, and visibility—especially across physical infrastructure, operational technology, and hybrid digital environments.

By utilizing Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Entra ID, the workshop illustrated how to strengthen threat visibility, streamline alert handling, and reduce risk in industrial settings while maintaining regulatory and safety compliance.

DEFINING KEY GOALSCustomer Goals

The company sought to:

  • Achieve comprehensive visibility over threats affecting endpoints, identities, IoT/industrial control systems, and cloud assets
  • Employ Microsoft’s unified security tools to centralize alerting and incident response workflows
  • Introduce automation to reduce manual intervention, especially for frequently recurring threats
  • Understand the cost implications, licensing options, and data ingestion and storage strategies for Microsoft Sentinel

OUR PROVEN METHODOLOGYWizard Cyber’s Approach

Wizard Cyber delivered the engagement according to Microsoft’s proven methodology, tailoring it to industrial and engineering priorities and environments.

Key Activities Included:

Discovery & Risk Prioritization

We worked with leadership and security teams to identify the most critical risk vectors—ranging from supply chain vulnerabilities to endpoint exposures—and aligned the workshop scope to those priorities.

Core Security Modules Delivered

All mandatory modules in the Modern SecOps framework were covered:

  • Unified SecOps with Microsoft Defender XDR
    Showed how integrated incident correlation across identity, cloud, and endpoints provides a unified view of threats.
  • Identity Threat Detection
    Demonstrated detection of compromised credentials, unauthorized access, and identity anomalies using Entra ID and Defender for Identity.
  • Communication & Collaboration Threat Detection
    Examined threats within internal and external collaboration platforms, email systems, and enterprise communication tools.
  • Azure Threat Detection
    Presented analytics and insights from cloud-hosted services, infrastructure, and workloads in their Azure environment.
  • Threat Intelligence
    Illustrated how Microsoft’s built‑in threat intelligence can provide context to events, elevate visibility, and assist decision‑making.

Optional Module: SOC Automation

We explored automation capabilities, showing how Microsoft Sentinel playbooks can standardize responses and free up analysts to focus on higher‑priority incidents.

Practical Demonstrations

Using the company’s own Microsoft licensing and test environments, we created simulated attack scenarios to show detection, investigation, and response across their hybrid infrastructure and industrial controls.
