Intelligent security analytics at cloud scale and speed, as one Azure tenant gets attacked with a new attack Microsoft’s SecOps investigates and builds new AI for Sentinel and the AI of Sentinel is updated as soon as Microsoft releases it to the cloud.

All scaling and maintenance (patching) is done automatically. Sentinel is already integrated into the Azure portal and comes with build in connectors. Sentinel integrates with all Microsoft (Security) alerts and logging and collaborates with many partners in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. Some of the key features of Azure Sentinel are: Microsoft reimagined the SIEM tool as a new cloud-native solution called Microsoft Azure Sentinel.

Expensive to own and operate, to set up and maintain a SIEM there is a need for time and highly skilled SecOps personnel which are both hard to come by.

Not easy scalable, the hard- and software requirements need to be planned upfront and are not so easy to change and evolve as the business needs.

Slow updates, the AI of the traditional SIEM is embedded in the vendor’s software so in case of a new attack the SIEM will only learn the detection algorithm after a vendor’s update.No machine learning, all logic must come from the SIEM vendor and the data analytics skills of the SecOps team.Often limited to on-premise IT, while it tens to migrate to the cloud there is a lack of integration of “cloud log-data”.It takes a long time and a lot of skill to configure these properly

The need for probes, to get the bigger picture you need to install probes and agents.

Hard to set up, there is a steep learning curve and a lot of different data to collect and make sense of.

Some key issues with an on-premise SIEM are: A SIEM is hard to build and takes a lot of maintenance and time from the technical and security staff. Historically the heart of a SOC is its SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tool. In the past, there was a lack of controls to monitor the cloud IT and this sentiment has stuck with the majority of the CISO that we meet. The majority of the CISO who run a SOC (Security Operation Center) to monitor their On-premise IT are hesitant to move to the cloud. This would reduce the time spent on figuring out what is happening and instead is spend on solving it and making the affected customer safer. With Sentinel, you have a far more advanced overview (at time of writing not in public preview yet) of the activity. Like how did it get downloaded in the first place (patient zero)? To solve this there should be one central place to get an overview of the entire malicious activity. What we miss here is all the information that other security solutions could have caught on possibly the same activity.

For Windows Defender ATP that would look something like below, where in this case the mimikatz tool was downloaded and extracted before windows defender on the specific machine could intervene. The employee would then determine what type of alert it is and login into the specific solution portal. When one of the security solutions detect a possible malicious activity a SecOps employee has to take a look at what is happening. Think of Azure Security Center or Windows Defender Advanced Threat protection. ‘Investigate’ and rapidly respond to threats manually or automatically.Ĭurrently, there are a lot of different security providers and products within the Microsoft cloud. By using Sentinel you can ‘Detect’ threats using predefined use cases like any other SIEM or by using the build in AI. To counter this you can use Sentinel that enables you to ‘Collect’ data across all your users, applications and resources both on-premise and in the cloud. Therefore, attackers have more ways to breach your cloud environment. Threats are more eminent than ever before since more and more companies go to the cloud. Sentinel is meant to be the extra pair of eyes to keep your enterprise even more secure than before.

Just before the RSA 2019 conference, Microsoft announced a new cloud-native SIEM solution called Azure Sentinel.
