Capabilities of Azure Sentinel
Data collection: Azure Sentinel can ingest and analyze large volumes of security data from various sources, including logs, events, and telemetry from Windows, Linux, macOS devices, Azure services, Microsoft 365, third-party solutions, on-premises infrastructure, Azure workloads, and more.
Advanced analytics: It leverages built-in machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to detect and surface potential threats and security incidents in real time, helping security teams proactively identify and respond to issues.
Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR): Azure Sentinel allows security analysts to create automated playbooks that perform incident investigation, threat hunting, and response actions, reducing manual efforts and response time.
Integration with Microsoft and third-party solutions: Azure Sentinel integrates with other Microsoft security services, such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Cloud App Security, and more. It also supports a wide range of third-party security solutions.
Customization and flexibility: Organizations can tailor Azure Sentinel to their security needs by creating custom detections, queries, and workbooks.
Threat intelligence: It provides built-in threat intelligence from Microsoft and partners, enabling proactive identification of known threat indicators.
Scalability and performance: Azure Sentinel is ...
