How Microsoft can unify security across all your clouds

SecWise Cloud Security Assessment

Managing security across multiple cloud platforms is no longer just a technical challenge, it is becoming a business-critical need for some. In this article and webinar, you will learn:
  • Why multi-cloud matters for security: Disaster recovery, resilience, and compliance.
  • Key challenges: Complexity, cost, and governance.
  • Practical solutions: How Microsoft’s security platform simplifies unified management across Azure, AWS, and beyond.
  • Customer Case: Learn how SecWise helped a Belgian company reduce cost and increase security.

Key Points Covered

1. Key Drivers for Multi-cloud

  • Multi-cloud adoption is accelerating due to business needs, compliance, resilience, and security requirements.
  • Organisations increasingly operate across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and on-premises/private clouds.
  • Major outages of big tech players highlighting the need for resilience and disaster recovery.
  • Regulatory pressures like the NIS2 and the EU sovereignty requirements.

2. Challenges in Multi-Cloud Security

  • Fragmented visibility: Each cloud provider uses different technology stacks and logging formats, leading to siloed dashboards and blind spots.
  • Identity complexity: Multiple identity systems complicate access management and security monitoring.
  • Lack of centralised monitoring: Makes it difficult to correlate threats and respond quickly.

3. Benefits of Microsoft’s Unified Security Platform

  • Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM): Ingests and correlates security signals from all major clouds and on-premises environments, breaking down silos.
  • Microsoft Defender suite: Provides endpoint detection and response (EDR) and broad threat visibility across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and on-premises workloads.
  • Automation and threat intelligence: Microsoft’s platform offers strong automation and integrated threat intelligence, especially beneficial for existing Microsoft customers.
  • Alternatives: Other platforms may offer vendor neutrality but can be more complex and costly to configure.
