Unleash The Power Of Microsoft Sentinel

A preview of Microsoft Sentinel was made available for customers last week. Categorized as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool, Microsoft claims that Sentinel is the first of its type in Cloud. This innovative service uses artificial intelligence to scrutinize data for detecting threats. It allows customers to borrow computing powers from Microsoft to crunch the information instead of purchasing and maintaining expensive servers.

Microsoft Sentinel will help you deliver cloud-native security operations as mentioned below:

Easily gather data across your enterprise
 
Using Microsoft Sentinel, you can aggregate all security data. For example, you can download a customer’s Office cloud data and combine it with security information to find threats. Microsoft Sentinel can be integrated with Microsoft Graph Security API, which enables you to import your own threat intelligence feeds. So, you can customize threat detection and alert rules.
AI power to analyze and identify threats quickly
 
Sentinel uses highly scalable machine learning algorithms to associate a large number of low fidelity anomalies to present a few high fidelity security incidents to the analyst. Using machine learning, you can quickly derive values from large amounts of security data that you have consumed, thus helping you easily connect the dots. Microsoft Sentinel has the ability to connect to user activity and behavior data from Microsoft 365 security products.
 
Track any suspicious activities
 
 By using graphical and AI-based investigation, you can reduce the time taken to understand the entire scope of an attack and its impact on your whole system. It’s possible to automate the process by which SecOps collect and analyze data (which is a repeatable process). Microsoft Sentinel provides capabilities that enable you to automate your analysis by building hunting queries and Azure Notebooks (based on Jupyter notebooks). 
 
Automate repetitive tasks and threat response
 

AI obviously sharpens your focus on discovering problems. But once you solve a particular kind of issue, you don’t expect to keep finding the same problems again and again. Microsoft Sentinel provides built-in automation and orchestration with pre-defined or custom playbooks to solve repetitive tasks and to respond to threats quickly. It can enhance the existing enterprise defense and tools used for probe.
