What is Microsoft Sentinel?
Microsoft Sentinel is Microsoft’s cloud based SIEM offering. It’s part of the wider Microsoft XDR Stack that is designed to be a log collection and security tool for any sized security team.
Today, many organisations, from larger enterprises to smaller-scale organisations – use a variety of tools that are generating security information and data. These organisations want to gather information which is security pertinent to create incidents and alerts off that, whether it be unifying incidents and alerts or creating rules to generate incidents and alerts. These alerts and incidents can be integrated with threat intelligence, Microsoft Defender or other security tools they own. So, bringing everything together is one thing, and furthering their cloud investment is the other.
Using advanced analytics and machine learning, Sentinel can detect and respond to threats by identifying patterns and anomalies in data. The platform supports automated threat response through the creation of playbooks, reducing response times and ensuring prompt action. With the ability to collect and analyse data from diverse sources, customisable dashboards, and reporting features, Sentinel offers organisations a powerful tool for security operations. It also integrates with external threat intelligence feeds, enabling proactive defence against emerging threats. The platform’s scalability, cross-platform support, and cost-efficiency make it a valuable asset for organisations seeking advanced security capabilities in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
How much does it cost?
Microsoft Sentinel is an Azure service which means that is is metered. Essentially, you get out of it what you put into it. Anything you’re putting into Sentinel as a log, is paid for. This is billed per gigabyte by a monthly basis. There are commitment tiers as well – if you are larger organisations and putting in hundreds of gigabytes a day, discounts can be available.
Are you on an E5 license? For any customers who have Microsoft E5 licensing – or the government/academic equivalent – you receive 5 megabytes per user per day of log ingestion for user related logs – this is a significant benefit for any organisations who have this licensing.
