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.

  1. To use a Logic App as an Azure Sentinel playbook, it must use the Azure Sentinel connector.
  2. To tell if a playbook ran successfully, select the playbook from the playbook’s page and then look at the Run History section.
  3. When using a playbook’s workflow to get information about an incident, use the Alert | Get Incident action and pass in the necessary parameters.
  4. Dynamic content is information provided by either a connector or action that can change for each instance of the playbook; for example, the System Alert ID field that was used to get the incident in the Creating a simple Azure Sentinel playbook section.
  5. Yes, you can combine dynamic and static content in one field.
