Cybersecurity Detection Coverage Rapid Value Assessment

Unisys Cybersecurity Detection Coverage Rapid Value Assessment is a focused, evidence-based engagement designed to measure how effectively an organization’s existing security controls detect real-world threats. Rather than assessing tools in isolation, the assessment correlates telemetry, alerts, and detection logic across SIEM, EDR/XDR, IAM, and CSPM to provide a unified view of detection coverage.

The assessment leverages read-only data collection and focuses on metadata such as detection rules, alerts, incidents, and telemetry coverage. It does not perform active changes, tuning, or operational actions within customer environments, ensuring a non-intrusive and secure evaluation.

The assessment analyzes how security signals flow and correlate across the Microsoft security ecosystem and other integrated tools, including: • Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM): Used as a central aggregation layer to understand how detection logic, alerts, and use cases contribute to overall coverage. • Microsoft Defender Suite (XDR): Assesses how endpoint, identity, and cloud signals contribute to multi-stage attack detection scenarios. • Azure Monitor & Log Analytics: Evaluates completeness and reliability of telemetry feeding detection workflows. • Microsoft Defender for Cloud: Reviews how cloud posture signals and misconfigurations contribute to detection visibility. • Microsoft Entra ID (IAM): Assesses identity-centric detection signals and their role in attack chain visibility.

Rather than evaluating each tool independently, the assessment focuses on how effectively these systems collectively detect adversary techniques.

By directly analyzing Microsoft Azure security services alongside existing SIEM and security tools, the assessment provides a holistic view of detection coverage across the Microsoft cloud stack.

Using these Azure-aligned insights, the engagement: Identifies detection gaps and validates coverage against the MITRE ATT&CK® framework Benchmarks performance against industry standards and Microsoft best practices Highlights gaps in telemetry, detection rules, automation, and response workflows Evaluates integration and effectiveness of Azure-native security tooling within the broader SOC ecosystem

Results are translated into business-relevant terms, correlating technical detection gaps to financial exposure, operational risk, and potential breach impact. Findings are mapped to recognized frameworks, including MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls, providing audit-ready evidence to support governance, risk, and compliance initiatives.

Powered by Unisys security expertise and automated detection analysis, the Rapid Value Assessment delivers: An evidence-based SIEM and Azure security scorecard A MITRE ATT&CK coverage heat map across Azure and hybrid environments A blind-spot inventory including unmonitored assets, misconfigured Azure services, and incomplete telemetry Prioritized findings and recommendations aligned to Microsoft security best practices and cloud adoption strategies

Organizations complete the engagement with a clear understanding of how well their security ecosystem functions as an integrated detection system rather than just how individual tools perform along with a prioritized roadmap to improve detection coverage and reduce risk.
