Threat detection is inherently complex. The sheer volume and diversity of data combined with the sophistication of modern attacks, resource constraints and a constantly evolving threat landscape make threat hunting for mid-market organisations operationally intensive. Security teams are under pressure and as an analyst it is your job to detect unseen risks to protect company data – and its reputation.   

In my latest workshop ‘Proactive Threat Hunting in Microsoft Sentinel‘, I demonstrate how Softwerx uses Sentinel as a powerful platform for proactive threat hunting. I explain how Microsoft security technologies can help streamline operations, enabling teams to prioritise threats with clarity and intent. Through a hands-on demonstration I guide you in building an effective threat hunting scenario in Sentinel that you can replicate yourself to generate meaningful, actionable results. 

Watch my full 15-minute workshop for a concise and comprehensive overview of how Microsoft Sentinel can be used effectively as a threat hunting tool. 

In our experience with clients using Microsoft Sentinel, many are still discovering how to make the most of the platform and integrate it into their security workflows. Sentinel is a powerful tool but to unlock its full potential it needs to be supported by a well-defined process and strategy. 

It’s essential to start any threat hunting exercise with a well-defined hypothesis. Without a clear understanding of what you’re looking for, the hunt can become unfocused and ineffective, making it difficult to reach meaningful outcomes. A strong hypothesis provides direction and significantly increases the likelihood of uncovering actionable insights. 

At Softwerx we leverage the threat hunting, analytics and threat intelligence capabilities within Microsoft Defender and Sentinel to improve detection potential. These tools help us extract actionable intelligence while enabling a consistent, standardised approach across the team. By working from a centralised platform we ensure everyone is aligned and operating in a coordinated, efficient manner. 

And you can do the same for your teams. Unlock the full potential of your threat hunting strategy. Watch our free workshop Proactive Threat Hunting in Microsoft Sentinel and take control before threats take hold.
