Threat Protection Envisioning Workshop

Use next-generation Microsoft Security tools to discover active threats and hidden vulnerabilities across your environment. 

Security threats rarely originate from a single source. Email, identity, endpoints, servers, and cloud services all introduce risk.  

This workshop focuses on Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Entra ID Protection to identify real threats and exposures within your organization. 

Apex Digital offers this workshop fully funded to many organizations, representing an $8,000 value. 

 

 

 

What is the Threat Protection Envisioning Workshop? 

Modern attacks move quickly across systems, identities, and devices. Many organizations lack clear visibility into where threats are emerging, and which vulnerabilities present the greatest risk. 

The Threat Protection Envisioning Workshop is a guided security engagement designed to surface threats, identify vulnerabilities, and evaluate your current protection capabilities using Microsoft Security tools. 

Apex Digital works with your team to configure engagement tools, analyze findings, and translate results into practical next steps aligned to your environment. 

The workshop is delivered remotely and designed to be completed quickly, with minimal disruption to your team.
