Microsoft Security Copilot
An AI helper for security teams built into Microsoft Defender and Sentinel that explains threats in plain English and bills by the hour.
A security log platform that bundles SIEM, user behavior analytics, and an AI analyst named Sam, priced by how much data you send in.
Securonix Unified Defense SIEM is a security data and detection platform. It combines log management, or SIEM, with user behavior analytics, automated response playbooks, and threat intelligence in one product instead of several add-ons. An AI feature called Sam acts as an AI SOC analyst: it enriches alerts, filters out noise, and explains its reasoning to human analysts. The platform keeps up to 365 days of searchable data by default. Securonix also added a feature called Governed AI Agent Detection, meant to spot risky behavior from a company's own AI agents and tools. Securonix has been named a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for SIEM for several years running.
This fits a company that wants to combine SIEM, user behavior analytics, and SOAR into one bill instead of three, and a team drowning in false positives from an older, rules-only SIEM. A sensible starting point is a proof-of-concept using a sample of your real log data before committing to a full migration. Securonix prices by the amount of data ingested each day, a GB-per-day model with tiered packages plus some pay-as-you-go headroom for spikes. Treat any online estimate as a planning figure, since real pricing depends on your daily data volume. Two risks: moving detection rules and dashboards from an old SIEM takes real project time, and data volume tends to grow over time, so ask how overage charges work before you sign.

Estimate assumptions: This scenario uses a category-based allowance, not a verified price for this product. Based on 1 production deployment. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Securonix and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
