Azure Sentinel is a scalable, cloud-native, security information event management (SIEM) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) solution. It provides intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the enterprise, making it the ideal service for cloud security analysts to have a centralized view of all security events and alerts.
Here's how Azure Sentinel can be utilized:
* Centralized Security Management: Azure Sentinel aggregates data from all Azure resources, including subscriptions, VMs, Storage, and SQL databases.
* Threat Detection: It uses advanced analytics and the power of AI to identify threats quickly and accurately.
* Proactive Hunting: Security analysts can proactively search for security threats using the data collected by Sentinel.
* Automated Response: It offers automated responses to reduce the volume of alerts and improve the efficiency of security operations.
* Integration: Sentinel integrates with various sources, not just Azure resources, providing a comprehensive security view.
