Microsoft Sentinel
Cloud-native SIEM with AI-driven analytics and integrated SOAR
Microsoft's cloud-native Security Information and Event Management platform — delivering AI-powered threat detection, automated investigation, and integrated security orchestration across your entire environment.
About Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel represents a generational shift in SIEM technology — moving from expensive, hardware-bound log aggregation to a scalable, cloud-native platform that brings AI-powered analytics, automated response, and deep Microsoft ecosystem integration to organisations of all sizes. For organisations already invested in Microsoft 365 and Azure, Sentinel provides an unmatched native integration — ingesting security signals from Azure AD, Microsoft 365 Defender, Defender for Endpoint, and the full Microsoft security portfolio without complex connectors or additional cost. Sentinel's SOAR capabilities enable security teams to automate repetitive investigation and response tasks — reducing mean time to respond and freeing analysts for higher-value work. The pay-as-you-go ingestion model means organisations only pay for the logs they actually analyse, making Sentinel significantly more cost-efficient than traditional SIEM platforms — particularly for organisations with large log volumes but limited security budgets.
Key Features
AI-Powered Analytics
Machine learning models trained on Microsoft's global threat intelligence identify anomalies and attack patterns across your log data — surfacing high-fidelity alerts while reducing alert fatigue from false positives.
Automation Playbooks
Azure Logic Apps integration enables no-code automation of response workflows — auto-closing false positives, enriching alerts with threat intelligence, isolating endpoints, and notifying stakeholders without analyst intervention.
Microsoft 365 Native Integration
First-party connectors for the entire Microsoft security portfolio — Azure AD, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, Teams, SharePoint, and more — with no additional ingestion cost for Microsoft data sources.
Threat Intelligence Platform
Built-in threat intelligence management aggregates indicators from Microsoft, third-party feeds, and your own intelligence sources — automatically enriching alerts and enabling threat hunting across your environment.
Custom Workbooks & Dashboards
Pre-built workbooks for common security use cases, plus full customisation capability using Azure Monitor Workbooks — enabling executive dashboards, compliance reporting, and operational metrics in a single platform.
Cost-Optimised Ingestion
Flexible data ingestion options including Basic Logs (low-cost retention for high-volume, infrequently queried data) and auxiliary log tiers — enabling organisations to ingest all relevant data without prohibitive cost.
