Global IT Works, as a Microsoft partner, offers unparalleled security solutions tailored to the unique needs of financial institutions. As part of this collaboration, Global IT Works recently facilitated an exclusive session titled “Microsoft SIEM + Security Copilot: Unification of SOC,” which brought together key customers and was led by Abbas Kudrati, SMC Chief Cybersecurity Advisor for Microsoft Asia. Several representatives from Microsoft Sri Lanka and Global IT Works attended the session. This insightful event provided an in-depth exploration of Microsoft’s Sentinel SIEM and Security Copilot technologies, highlighting their potential to enhance security and streamline cybersecurity operations for financial institutions.

For instance, by integrating Microsoft’s cutting-edge security technologies with our extensive industry knowledge, we aim to empower NBFCs to achieve full compliance and operate confidently in a complex digital landscape.
