Security operations teams face mounting pressure from fragmented tools, high alert volumes, and inefficient workflows. Microsoft’s Unified Security Operations Platform responds to these challenges with a truly integrated experience—combining SIEM, XDR, and AI into a single, operator-focused environment.
What are the key benefits of the Unified SecOps Platform?
📌Unified Incident Management:
🔹Incidents from Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel are correlated and surfaced in a shared investigation view
🔹Analysts can access all relevant artifacts—alerts, entities, evidence, hunting results, playbooks—from a single pane
📌 Integrated Security Copilot
🔹Copilot is embedded natively to assist with incident summarization, entity context, guided hunting, and KQL generation
🔹Reduces Mean Time to Understand (MTTU) and accelerates ramp-up for new analysts
📌Role-Aware User Interfaces
🔹Purpose-built views tailored for Tier 1/2 analysts, threat hunters, incident responders, and SOC managers
🔹Streamlines workflows by presenting relevant data and actions based on the user's role
📌Automation and Orchestration at Scale
🔹Access and execute Sentinel playbooks (Logic Apps) and Defender workflows directly from incidents
🔹Unified automation for alert enrichment, triage, and integration with ITSM or ticketing systems
📌Cross-Domain Visibility
🔹Investigate lateral movement across endpoint, identity, email, cloud apps, and data
🔹Powered by Defender’s extensive telemetry and unified entity graph
📌Multitenant Operator (MTO) Support
🔹Enables MSSPs and large enterprises to operate across customer tenants seamlessly
🔹Supports delegated access, RBAC enforcement, conditional access, and secure tenant switching without reauthentication
📌Security Boundary Alignment
🔹Enforces consistent access control using Microsoft Entra roles, Defender URBAC, and Sentinel RBAC
🔹Supports fine-grained, auditable access segmentation for distributed and multitenant SOCs

Are there details on how the incident merging works? We solved our problem with DLP events creating alerts/incidents... but we sync Sentinel incidents to our ticketing system.
With Defender XDR merging and closing incidents at will, this can cause confusion as we try to keep in sync.
