Package 6: KMS Intelligent Operations

AI-Powered Security Operations & Automation

The Security Operations Threat Landscape

Security teams face an average of 10,000 alerts per day, with 67% going uninvestigated due to staffing limitations and alert fatigue. Mean time to detect advanced threats averages 207 days, while mean time to respond extends to 73 days for complex incidents. Cybersecurity skill shortages affect 85% of organizations, leaving security operations centers understaffed and overwhelmed by escalating threat volumes while attackers leverage automation to conduct attacks at machine scale.

The KMS Solution: Intelligent Operations

KMS Intelligent Operations transforms reactive security monitoring into proactive, automated threat hunting and response capabilities. Microsoft Sentinel with SOAR automation provides 24/7 security operations that match the speed and scale of modern threats. Automated threat detection combined with playbook execution ensures incidents are contained and remediated faster than human-operated attacks can propagate, while threat intelligence integration provides early warning of emerging attack patterns.
