Best practices for effective investigation
With a query explorer, users can search through extensive cloud data logs and resources, identify security vulnerabilities, detect compliance violations, and discover potential threats. It offers the flexibility to craft tailored queries for specific security concerns while also including built-in queries aligned with industry standards and best practices, streamlining security assessments, and ensuring robust cloud security. Here are some best practices for when using KQL within the context of cloud security and threat hunting:
