Trustwave launches two new Microsoft Security Accelerators to increase security maturity and drive cost savings

December 4, 2024 – Trustwave, a leading cybersecurity and managed security services provider, has announced the launch of two new Microsoft Security Accelerators designed to help organisations quickly improve their security maturity and identify cost-saving opportunities. These accelerators – the Accelerator for Microsoft Purview and the Accelerator for Microsoft Entra ID – are the latest additions to Trustwave’s Microsoft Security accelerator program, further expanding its offerings to support businesses in optimising their Microsoft Security investments. 

The newly introduced Microsoft Security Accelerators provide organisations with clear, actionable roadmaps to unlock the full potential of their Microsoft Security technologies: 

• Accelerator for Microsoft Purview: This accelerator focuses on helping organisations maximise value and security outcomes from Microsoft Purview, a leading data governance and compliance solution. The accelerator reviews sensitive information types (SITs) and data sensitivity labels and evaluates strategies to safeguard sensitive information more effectively. 

• Accelerator for Microsoft Entra ID: Designed to enhance identity and access management, this accelerator delivers a roadmap to optimise security outcomes from Microsoft Entra ID. It includes assessments of authentication mechanisms and evaluations of device and application management capabilities to ensure a robust security posture. 

Jesse Emerson, senior vice president of product management & solutions engineering,  Trustwave, said “These new accelerators represent Trustwave’s continued commitment to helping organisations strengthen their Microsoft Security environment.”  

“As businesses increasingly rely on Microsoft solutions, these accelerators enable them to rapidly mature their security capabilities, improve compliance, and uncover new opportunities for operational efficiencies and cost savings.” 

These new offerings complement Trustwave’s existing Microsoft Security Accelerators, which include: 

• Accelerator for Microsoft Defender XDR: Focuses on optimising configurations, reducing redundancies, and rationalising the technology stack. 

• Accelerator for Microsoft Sentinel: Assesses data sources, log source types, and usage to optimise costs and increase value. 

• Accelerator for Microsoft Security Copilot: Helps organisations identify use cases for Security Copilot in security operations for better security outcomes. 

With these accelerators, Trustwave’s expert consultants work closely with organisations to analyse their specific needs, identify gaps, and provide actionable recommendations for optimising their security posture. Organisations that choose to adopt one or more of Trustwave’s Microsoft Security Accelerators will benefit from: 

• Expert guidance: Access to Trustwave’s team of Microsoft Security experts, including Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) and Certified Experts in Azure Security. 

• Increased visibility: Enhanced security, compliance, and analytical capabilities to improve threat detection and response times. 

• Cost optimisation: Identification of redundancies and opportunities for rationalisation in technology stacks, helping businesses optimise their security investments. 

• Tailored workshops: Deep-dive sessions on specific Microsoft Security topics, such as Sentinel, Security Copilot, and more, to help organisations reduce learning curves and streamline deployment. 

• Roadmap to security maturity: A comprehensive plan to accelerate Microsoft Security capabilities, increasing the organisation’s overall security maturity. 

Trustwave’s security experts guide clients through a three-step approach for each accelerator: 

1. Discovery: Gathering information to understand the current Microsoft Security environment and objectives. 

2. Analysis: Reviewing data, configurations, and capabilities to assess security posture. 

3. Reporting: Providing a detailed roadmap with recommendations, followed by workshops for deeper exploration of security topics. 

Once this process is completed, Trustwave can help implement the suggested changes to organisations’ Microsoft Security environments. To learn more about Trustwave’s new offerings: https://www.trustwave.com/en-us/company/alliance-ecosystem/technology-partners/microsoft/.
