Session Abstract

With the introduction of the unified portal for Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR, Microsoft is clearly steering organizations toward Defender XDR—gradually shifting features away from Sentinel. But what exactly is changing? What does this mean for your security operations, and how should your organization respond? Join me for a deep dive into this transition, where I’ll share insights from migrating over 20 tenants to the unified portal. Expect real-world lessons, unexpected challenges, and practical guidance—along with a few war stories and mistakes I’ve made so you don’t have to repeat them.
