Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) solution that enables the collection, analysis, and correlation of security-related data from multiple sources across an organization's Azure environment and beyond. By integrating with various data sources, Azure Sentinel offers comprehensive visibility into security events and incidents, allowing security analysts to proactively monitor threats and respond to them effectively.
Its capabilities include querying large volumes of data, identifying patterns, and using artificial intelligence to enhance threat detection. Moreover, it provides a centralized workspace for security teams to investigate incidents, automate responses, and leverage built-in intelligence to improve the overall security posture.
Other options like Microsoft Teams focus on collaboration, Azure Active Directory primarily manages user identities and access, and Microsoft 365 Defender addresses endpoint security, but none provide the holistic event analysis and collection capabilities that are inherent in Azure Sentinel. This makes Azure Sentinel the optimal choice when it comes to managing and analyzing security events across multiple resources.
