Streamlined Identity Management and Access Control
As QNET has expanded globally, so has its cloud infrastructure, presenting new security challenges that require advanced tools to manage access permissions and protect user identities. With the introduction of Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Sentinel, and other Microsoft security solutions, QNET has gained unprecedented visibility and control over its systems. These tools allow for precise control of permissions and identity-based access, ensuring that only the right individuals can access sensitive areas.
“Identity management and access control are vital as we scale,” says James Eduard Andaya, Security Operations Team Lead at QNET. “With Microsoft Entra and Conditional Access, we’re able to set strict parameters around access, keeping our users’ data safe and secure.”
Cutting-Edge Security Measures with Microsoft Sentinel and Copilot for Security
QNET’s enhanced security measures now feature Microsoft Sentinel, which centralises threat detection, analysis, and response. With AI and automation, Microsoft Sentinel streamlines how the security operations centre (SOC) manages threats, making threat remediation faster and more efficient. Microsoft Copilot for Security further strengthens this effort, enabling analysts to detect, analyse, and neutralise threats with ease. According to Andaya, “As early adopters of Microsoft Copilot for Security, we report up to 40 per cent time savings and a 60 per cent increase in efficiency for our security teams.”
Enhanced Threat Response Capabilities
With the integrated Microsoft tools, QNET’s SOC team has transformed its approach to incident response. Andaya highlights that “our secure score jumped from 42 per cent to 73 per cent,” indicating a significant boost in QNET’s security posture, especially in managing endpoint and identity security—key areas often targeted by cyberattacks.
The Future of Security at QNET
Embracing a Zero Trust framework, QNET has laid a solid foundation for security that prioritises verification and proactive threat detection. The use of AI-powered tools like Copilot for Security is allowing QNET to accelerate data analysis and streamline security operations, ensuring a safer future for the company’s growing digital infrastructure.
