Microsoft Sentinel

SIEM and SOAR SaaS platform in Azure cloud, enriched with artificial intelligence

Microsoft Sentinel is a scalable Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that provides Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) capabilities. Sentinel provides an overview of the entire organization, eliminating the stress of increasingly sophisticated attacks, increasing alert volume and long resolution times.

Solution overview

Microsoft Sentinel provides intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the organization as a unified solution for attack detection, threat visibility, proactive hunting and threat response. Sentinel provides the following functionality:

  • Collect data from all users, devices, applications and the entire infrastructure, both on-premises and cloud/multicloud,
  • Detects previously undetected threats and minimizes false positives, using advanced analysis algorithms and threat intelligence,
  • Investigate threats using artificial intelligence and Machine Learning, identifying suspicious activity, leveraging Microsoft’s years of cybersecurity expertise,
  • Respond quickly to incidents with proactive and customizable automation of common security actions.

Main functionalities

Microsoft Sentinel works based on the following key mechanisms:

Data collection on a large scale

After integrating Microsoft Sentinel into your work environment, hundreds of data connectors can be used to collect your organization's data into Microsoft Sentinel. For example, the Microsoft 365 Defender connector is a service-to-service connector that integrates data from Office 365, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Microsoft Defender for Identity, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. To connect Sentinel with various non-Microsoft data sources/products/services, connectors can be used: Syslog, Common Event Format (CEF) or REST APIs.

Identify advanced threats with User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)

After collecting the data, Sentinel analyzes it and creates basic behavioral profiles of the organization's entities (users, hosts, IP addresses and applications). Microsoft Sentinel then identifies anomalous activity and determines whether an element has been compromised and what the priority threats are, using Machine Learning algorithms, third-party data sources, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework of tactics, techniques, and subtechniques.

Investigating entities with Entity pages

It is a feature that allows access to the data sheet of any selected entity. This contains: a history of notable events related to the entity, information about its behavior, entity identification information, collected from data sources such as Azure Active Directory, Azure Monitor, Azure Activity, Azure Resource Manager, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, CEF/ Syslog and Microsoft 365 Defender (with all its components), alerts, flags, anomalies and activities from Log Analytics.

Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR)

Sentinel is both a SIEM and a SOAR system, one of its main purposes being to automate the recurring response and remediation tasks that are the responsibility of Security Operations Centers (SOC/SecOps), thereby freeing up time and resources for in-depth investigations and hunting.

License and Use

Microsoft Sentinel can be used on an account basis in the Azure platform (https://azure.microsoft.com) and is delivered and charged as a cloud service based on the volume of data analyzed in Microsoft Sentinel and stored in Azure Monitor Log Analytics.

The Pay-As-You-Go pricing model charges according to the traffic consumed, and the Commitment Tiers model allows the selection of a certain level of consumption and facilitates the predictability of costs. Sentinel can be tested for free for 31 days with a limit of 10 GB/day.

Benefits of the solution

Microsoft Sentinel brings the following benefits:

Quick setup

Sentinel can be deployed through the Azure portal in minutes, with no on-premises installations required.

Zero upfront costs, low administration costs, simplified expansion

According to Microsoft data, Azure Sentinel is 48% less expensive and 67% faster to deploy than traditional on-premises SIEM solutions.

Hundreds of connectors, compatibility with hybrid environments

Sentinel provides multiple connection methods for data feeding, including applications, agents, Syslog, and native no-code connectors, etc., from both cloud-based and on-premises systems.

Integration with Microsoft security solutions

Sentinel is tightly integrated with Microsoft 365 Defender and Azure Defender for Cloud security solutions.
