What is Sentinel?

Sentinel is a security platform that automatically detects threats and anomalies across your Azure environment. It leverages machine learning and behavioral analytics to identify potential risks before they impact your business.

It integrates seamlessly with Azure services like Azure Security Center, Azure Monitor, and Azure Log Analytics.

Key Features

Here are some key features:

• Threat Detection: Automatically identifies malicious activity.
• Anomaly Detection: Learns normal behavior to flag deviations.
• Behavioral Analytics: Tracks user and entity activity.
• Threat Intelligence: Integrates with threat feeds.
• Security Event Correlation: Combines events for a single view.

Getting Started - A Simple Workflow

Let's illustrate a simple workflow:

1. Identify: Configure Azure Sentinel to collect logs from your Azure resources.
2. Detect: Sentinel will monitor these logs for suspicious patterns.
3. Respond: Automatically take action (e.g., isolate a compromised resource, trigger an alert).
