Learn How Opex Transforms

Global Manufacturing Enterprise's Cybersecurity Posture with 24/7 Managed Detection and Response Using Microsoft Sentinel

Opex Technologies helped a global manufacturing enterprise modernize its cybersecurity strategy by implementing Microsoft Sentinel and a 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution. The client needed to shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, leveraging existing Microsoft E5 tools and advanced threat detection. Opex conducted in-depth discovery sessions, facilitated demos, and created a ransomware tabletop exercise to support implementation. The result was a successful rollout of Microsoft Defender MDR in 60 days, improved security operations, and a 50% cost reduction.
