Mastering KQL for Advanced Threat Detection in MDI
In this chapter, we will delve into the capabilities of Kusto Query Language (KQL) within MDI. Our journey will start with an introduction to KQL where you will learn how to write simple queries to retrieve and filter data from MDI tables. This section is crucial for establishing a solid foundation, enabling you to leverage KQL’s capabilities in your security operations.
As we advance in the chapter, you will discover how to utilize KQL for more sophisticated threat detection. The middle part of the chapter will equip you with the skills to identify hidden patterns, anomalies, and correlations in your data, essential for uncovering advanced threats. You will master techniques such as joining multiple tables, summarizing data, and creating custom columns.
To bring theory into practice, we will explore real-world case studies where KQL and MDI together with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) have been pivotal in detecting...
