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 GitHub

GitHub is the largest, and one of the best, platforms for sharing content and securely storing your code. The platform is primarily used for software development version control, using a distributed version control system called Git. When you start to use GitHub, you create a new project. This contains the code repository and allows secure collaboration between different authors and contributors. The repository can be set to Private, ensuring only specific people can view the contents, or you can allow others to view and contribute by making it Public.

GitHub is available for free and offers plans for professional and enterprise accounts. To learn how to get started with GitHub, sign up for the tutorial. If you get stuck at any time, there is also a help site dedicated to getting the most out of this unique solution. You can choose between the Learning Lab or the Help site, which can be accessed at the following links:
