Overview
The Microsoft Azure platform delivers critical speed and elastic scale, but this velocity creates an operational paradox: dynamic workloads introduce complex visibility gaps and shift the attack surface. Static, log-centric performance monitoring and security are insufficient to respond to issues that can take hours or even days to remediate. To achieve holistic operational resilience and maximize the efficacy of Microsoft Sentinel and Defender for Endpoint, NetOps and SecOps teams require instantaneous, high-fidelity network telemetry. Network performance monitoring (NPM) and network detection and response (NDR) unify visibility, empowering rapid threat containment, speeding MTTD/MTTR, and eliminating critical cloud blind spots.
Challenges
The inherent nature of hybrid environments, cloud computing, and SaaS applications introduces significant blind spots. Relying solely on agents and logs alone creates visibility gaps in lateral (east-west) traffic, particularly for encrypted data, containers, and serverless activities. This limited visibility restricts the effectiveness of tools such as Microsoft Sentinel and Defender for Endpoint, and leaves environments like Microsoft 365 exposed. Consequently, security and performance threats become challenging to detect, posing a significant strain on the SOC and NOC teams to identify the root cause of incidents and respond promptly and effectively.
NDR Use Case
Benefits
Gain total visibility across all Azure workloads and assets (known/unknown) to stop advanced threats that bypass logs/agents.
Solution
Continuous asset discovery & cloud-scale ML/AI provide real-time behavioral analysis & risk scoring in Azure.
NDR Use Case
Benefits
Detect lateral movement & credential theft in cloud workloads.
Solution
Agentless NDR decrypts and analyzes 90+ protocols, including TLS 1.3, for full visibility into east-west data flows.
NPM Use Case
Benefits
Provide complete historical network evidence (packets/flows) for compliance, threat hunting, and deep incident investigation.
Solution
RevealX delivers real-time network intelligence and forensic context, enhancing Sentinel’s correlation and automation rules.
NDR + NPM Use Case
Benefits
Enrich Sentinel alerts with wire data context to accelerate root cause analysis by 87% and improve analyst efficiency.
Solution
Publish high-fidelity RevealX detections, device context, and Smart Triage data directly to Microsoft Sentinel SIEM.
NDR + NPM Use Case
Benefits
Correlate network data with EDR signals to prevent agent bypass and gain complete MITRE ATT&CK kill chain coverage.
Solution
Integrate NDR network insights (decrypted traffic) with MDE for unified detection, preventing evasion at all stages.
NDR + NPM Use Case
Benefits
RevealX agentless monitoring can detect threats on unmanaged devices and enable MDE automated response (isolation/tagging).
Solution
RevealX agentless monitoring detects threats on unmanaged devices, triggering automated MDE response (isolation/tagging).
NDR + NPM Use Case
Benefits
Monitor identity activity for risky behavior (e.g., suspicious forwarding), indicating account compromise or persistence.
Solution
RevealX monitors M365 SaaS activity and correlates events from Entra ID Identity Protection with rich network context.
