Global requirements and prerequisites for Microsoft Sentinel
Let's look at some Sentinel-specific requirements so that you can continue onboarding and deploying Microsoft Sentinel:
- As we mentioned previously, you will need an active Azure subscription.
- You will also need a Log Analytics workspace.
- You will need Contributor permissions to the subscription or resource group where Log Analytics exists and where you plan to enable Microsoft Sentinel (remember the recommendation and guidance previous).
- Ensure you have any required permissions at the individual data source level as well. This becomes very granular but is necessary in some large enterprises.
Often, you will need to know the general information on availability and data residency for your compliance and regulatory purposes. Let's get into that!
