Overview of this book

Microsoft Sentinel is a security information and event management (SIEM) tool developed by Microsoft that helps you integrate cloud security and artificial intelligence (AI). This book will teach you how to implement Microsoft Sentinel and understand how it can help detect security incidents in your environment with integrated AI, threat analysis, and built-in and community-driven logic. The first part of this book will introduce you to Microsoft Sentinel and Log Analytics, then move on to understanding data collection and management, as well as how to create effective Microsoft Sentinel queries to detect anomalous behaviors and activity patterns. The next part will focus on useful features, such as entity behavior analytics and Microsoft Sentinel playbooks, along with exploring the new bi-directional connector for ServiceNow. In the next part, you’ll be learning how to develop solutions that automate responses needed to handle security incidents and find out more about the latest developments in security, techniques to enhance your cloud security architecture, and explore how you can contribute to the security community. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to implement Microsoft Sentinel to fit your needs and protect your environment from cyber threats and other security issues.

Chapter 4: Integrating Threat Intelligence with Microsoft Sentinel

This chapter will explore the options available for adding Threat Intelligence (TI) feeds to Microsoft Sentinel to enable the security team to have a greater understanding of the potential threats against their environment. We will explore the available TI feeds from Microsoft and other trusted industry sources, and then learn how to choose the most appropriate feeds for your organization based on geography, industry, and other risk factors.

This chapter will also introduce several new topics you may not be familiar with, but we encourage you to further research to add to your Security Operations Centre (SOC) capabilities, including the collaborative efforts of STIX and TAXII, a TI framework and set of standards that will help organizations to contribute and benefit from the knowledge of others.

By the end of this chapter, you will know how to implement several TI feeds.
