Notice Information

Notice Title

Azure Sentinel Configuration

Notice Description

With Sentinel, we can collect data from across our cloud, users, devices, applications, and infrastructure, both on-premises and in multiple clouds. We will increase our ability to detect threats, but also reduce false positives using AI as well as investigate threats with AI. Also, we can respond to incidents rapidly with built-in orchestration and automation of common tasks, most without any human intervention to remove the threat at all.
