Learn Azure Sentinel

By: Richard Diver, Gary Bushey

Overview of this book

Azure Sentinel is a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool developed by Microsoft to integrate cloud security and artificial intelligence (AI). Azure Sentinel not only helps clients identify security issues in their environment, but also uses automation to help resolve these issues. With this book, you’ll implement Azure Sentinel and understand how it can help find security incidents in your environment with integrated artificial intelligence, threat analysis, and built-in and community-driven logic. This book starts with an introduction to Azure Sentinel and Log Analytics. You’ll get to grips with data collection and management, before learning how to create effective Azure Sentinel queries to detect anomalous behaviors and patterns of activity. As you make progress, you’ll understand how to develop solutions that automate the responses required to handle security incidents. Finally, you’ll grasp the latest developments in security, discover 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 Azure Sentinel to fit your needs and be able to protect your environment from cyber threats and other security issues.

Using the Logic Apps Designer page

Once the playbook has been created, you will be taken to the Logic Apps Designer page. There are actually two different views for this page.

The first view, shown in the following screenshot, will be shown if your workflow is empty. It provides a quick introduction video, some common triggers, and predefined templates that can be used to help you get started building your workflow. Note that the view shown in the following screenshot will only show up the first time you edit the workflow for a specific logic app. After that, if there is no workflow, you will be shown a listing of templates and the Blank Logic App button, which will allow you to create an empty workflow that you can add to:

Note

At the time of writing, there are no Azure Sentinel playbook templates on this page, but, hopefully, there will be soon.
