Microsoft Azure Sentinel

More about the book

Microsoft's cloud-based Azure Sentinel enables organizations to harness advanced AI for automated threat identification and response, addressing the complexities of traditional SIEM solutions. This guide, authored by three of Microsoft's top experts, provides a comprehensive roadmap for planning, deploying, and operating Azure Sentinel. Drawing from their hands-on experience with early adopters, they cover essential topics including configuration, data ingestion, rule development, incident management, and proactive threat hunting. Key insights include how to effectively utilize Azure Sentinel in today's dynamic cybersecurity landscape, understanding threat intelligence fundamentals such as attacker motivations and tactics, and exploring the platform's components and architecture. Readers will learn to ingest alert log data from critical services, build and validate analytical rules, and manage incident lifecycles within Security Operation Centers (SOCs). The experts emphasize the importance of proactive threat hunting to disrupt cyber kill chains and offer techniques to mitigate alert fatigue. Additionally, they demonstrate how to leverage programmable Jupyter notebooks for machine learning and data analysis, utilize Playbooks for Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), and automate responses to low-level events.
