Navertica is a software and consulting company focused on enterprise solutions built on the Microsoft platform. It uses Microsoft 365, E3 plans, Microsoft Intune, and Zero Trust principles itself. Security was therefore neither a new topic nor a neglected area for the company.
Quite the opposite. Navertica has its own IT/security team and knows full well that even a properly configured Microsoft environment cannot be secured once and for all to the point of being impenetrable. Tenants, identities, devices, permissions, and cloud services are constantly changing. And as they change, so do the risks.
SecuRadar was therefore not intended to replace existing tools. Navertica continues to use them. Its purpose was to supplement them with proactive monitoring that helps detect relevant security events in a timely manner and classify them as incidents.
When the security team doesn’t want to spend time searching through logs
Navertica understands these incidents and is able to resolve them internally. The problem was not a lack of expertise, but a lack of efficiency.
Manually checking logs, switching between different tools, and looking for connections between events takes time. And time is precisely what matters most to a software company. The internal team should focus on development, customer support, and core business operations—not on constantly sifting through logs to see if anything suspicious is happening in the environment.
Navertica was therefore looking for a way to maintain continuous oversight of the environment without having to build its own SOC. The goal was to ensure that relevant events did not remain hidden in the logs, but instead were converted into alerts and incidents that the team could address immediately.
The attack occurred just as SecuRadar was being discussed
At the very same time that Navertica was discussing SecuRadar with System4u, it itself fell victim to an attack. This experience confirmed that proactive monitoring is not just a “security add-on,” but a practical component of business continuity.
Even if a company has its own security expertise, it cannot rely on someone always noticing the right signal in the right tool at the right time. A modern attack can manifest itself in identities, devices, email, cloud services, or a combination of several weaker signals at once.
It is precisely in situations like this that SecuRadar proves its value. It doesn’t just rely on someone checking the logs. It proactively monitors the environment, evaluates relevant events, and alerts you to incidents that warrant attention.
Why Navertica Chose SecuRadar Complete
The collaboration began with a SecuRadar Assessment. Both Navertica’s management and its IT/security team participated in the initial assessment. The goal was to verify the current state of the environment, identify vulnerabilities, and gather specific information to inform future decisions.
After reviewing the report, it was clear that Navertica didn’t just want another dashboard. It needed a service that turns security signals into incidents. That’s why SecuRadar Complete made the most sense.
Complete integrates with the existing Microsoft environment and enhances it with managed monitoring. It helps detect suspicious events, evaluate them in context, and provide the team with actionable information. So it’s not just another place someone has to go and check. It’s a service that actively alerts you to important situations.
The trial run helped set the correct sensitivity
The decision to implement SecuRadar Complete was followed by a one-month trial period. The goal was to configure the service to fit Navertica’s real-world environment.
When it comes to security monitoring, it’s important to strike the right balance. Settings that are too sensitive overwhelm the team with false positives. Settings that are too lenient may cause important signals to be overlooked. Therefore, during the trial run, the parameters were fine-tuned so that the service would alert the team to relevant events without generating unnecessary noise.
The result was a monitoring system that integrated seamlessly into Navertica’s operations without adding any additional administrative burden.
Result: Less manual searching, greater certainty
Navertica continues to use its Microsoft tools, Intune, and Zero Trust principles. SecuRadar does not replace them. It complements them with a layer of proactive monitoring that helps the security team identify more quickly when something significant is happening in the environment.
This way, the internal team doesn’t have to spend time constantly searching through various tools and log records. Instead, it receives alerts about relevant incidents. As a result, the team can focus on its core work while being more confident that important security signals won’t go unnoticed.
For Navertica, this is also important from a business continuity perspective. A security incident should not unnecessarily tie up the internal team’s resources or jeopardize customer trust. SecuRadar helps maintain an overview, shorten the time from detection to response, and strengthen the company’s ability to operate securely even as the complexity of the Microsoft environment increases.
