Enabling Azure-native SIEM with Microsoft Sentinel

Microsoft Sentinel is a modernized SIEM and SOAR that is built on Microsoft Cloud technology. Microsoft Sentinel is a centralized SIEM solution that provides an intelligent robust life cycle to allow the collection of data, detection of threats, investigation of threats, and responses to incidents. Because Azure Sentinel is cloud-built in Azure, the ease of setup and integration makes the service extremely attractive to existing Microsoft customers that use Azure to host their cloud resources. The setup is simplified compared to a third-party SIEM, which typically requires additional infrastructure and storage to support log collection and analyze data.
