If your business wants more from your Microsoft Sentinel investment, you may find that traditional compliance tools lack legal defence details, struggle with the surge in log data, and don’t offer cost-effective, long-term preservation. LogLocker allows you to easily rationalise your Microsoft Sentinel logs and store them for longer, for less. This enhances Sentinel, transforming it into a crucial component for compliance, just like it is for security.

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital compliance, the introduction of LogLocker for Microsoft Sentinel marks a groundbreaking advancement. This new platform, designed to simplify and rationalise the management of log data, is a game-changer for organisations that want to reduce storage costs whilst retaining the ability to navigate the complexities of modern compliance requirements.
