BlueVoyant’s Continuous Optimization for Microsoft Security is designed to address these challenges by providing enterprises with dynamic, threat-informed detection analytics, as well as proprietary tooling for Microsoft Defender health and optimization, all backed by the industry’s leading experts in Microsoft security. This offering helps ensure that security teams are at the top of their game and are able to make the most of Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Cloud, all while effectively managing and forecasting infrastructure and data costs.
COMS combines some of the most highly-demanded elements of BlueVoyant’s market-leading co-managed SecOps solution along with multiple additional features designed to be delivered in a customized manner according to the specific needs of each client. It providesย expert technology management to either complement Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services or support in-house SecOps programs.
According to Gartnerยฎ: “Co-management offers buyers the opportunity to increase their internal security skill sets while still having the support of an experienced service provider. Such an approach increases the speed at which they can achieve greater security maturity and gives them the flexibility to build capabilities and mature internal staff in ways not available via a more “fully managed” approach.” Additionally, “Gartner expects the [co-managed] market to continue to increase in popularity as an adjacent or replacement service requirement to MDR services.”
The quotes above come from the Gartner Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services was publishedย April 14, 2025, byย Pete Shoard,ย Mitchell Schneider,ย Andrew Davies,ย Angel Berrios.
