SUSE Security to Integrate with Microsoft Products for Better Threat Response

SUSE, a global open source software company, has announced that it will integrate its Security Solutions with Microsoft Sentinel, a cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) platform. 

As cyber threats grow in volume and sophistication, managing security across multiple platforms has become more complex. And this integration allows security data from SUSE environments to flow directly into Microsoft Sentinel, giving organisations a centralised dashboard to monitor activity. Sentinel can automatically raise alerts and isolate affected nodes to prevent further spread of potential threats. 

The integration is made part of Microsoft Security Copilot, a tool to help analyse security data using GenAI. 

SUSE, known for its enterprise-grade Linux distribution, said that the Security Copilot correlates SUSE Security data with other data sources within Sentinel to identify complex and sophisticated attacks. This allows customers to proactively address potential threats based on the recommendations.

“This new integration is a robust security solution for any organisation running cloud-native workloads on Microsoft Azure,” said Laurent Mechain, global head of cloud at SUSE. “We’re excited to deepen our existing work with Microsoft and reinforce our commitment to powering open, secure innovation.”

David Houlding, director of global healthcare security & compliance strategy at Microsoft, noted that the collaboration would help joint customers simplify their security operations and improve threat protection.

SUSE highlights its security offering, SUSE Rancher Prime, SUSE’s enterprise container management platform for Kubernetes clusters, as the highlight, which combines with Microsoft’s security solutions to provide comprehensive threat intelligence.

The company said, “Combining SUSE’s Kubernetes security with Microsoft’s security tools creates a robust security solution.” The integration, the company claims, enhances security operations by providing broader visibility, faster detection and response, and simplified management across hybrid IT environments.
