BUI, a trusted security partner with deep Microsoft roots

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, BUI provides industry-agnostic security solutions on Microsoft Azure throughout South Africa and across the African continent. The company aims to balance productivity with robust prevention, detection, and response for organizations ranging from entrepreneurial startups to established businesses, and from high-profile corporations to enterprise-level multinationals.

BUI has a longstanding partnership with Microsoft spanning over 20 years. The company is an Azure Expert Managed Service Provider with multiple Gold competencies. At the 2020 Microsoft South Africa Partner Awards, BUI won the Modern Workplace Partner of the Year Award, the Azure Infrastructure Partner of the Year Award, and the Security Partner of the Year Award.

Using Microsoft products to help organizations bolster their cybersecurity posture

Staying up to date with security technologies and attack vectors can be a daunting task. Not every IT department has the capability or skillset to deliver full-scale cybersecurity operations. BUI offers its CyberSoC managed service on Microsoft Azure Marketplace to expand IT operations teams with additional cybersecurity capacity, skills, and experience. This collaborative approach to detecting and eradicating attacks helps improve overall security and keep businesses safe.

"Cybersecurity attacks have increased over the last few months, and even though BUI's CyberSoC provides exceptional services and support, the recipe to a successful cybersecurity strategy requires participation and willingness from all parties involved," said Ryan Roseveare, Managing Director, BUI.

Based on Microsoft Azure Sentinel, a cloud-born security information and event management (SIEM) system backed by powerful AI technology, BUI CyberSoC adds visibility, proactive vulnerability detection, and breach traceability and remediation to an organization's cybersecurity strategy. Together with Microsoft Threat Protection, Azure Sentinel enables CyberSoC to collect, detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity incidents, providing immediate visibility and protection across all endpoints, on-premises, and cloud technologies.

BUI’s CyberSoC fully managed service on Azure helps organizations improve their security posture and keep their entire IT security estate safe with Microsoft technologies and 24/7 monitoring from BUI’s dedicated cybersecurity team.
