Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that provides intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across your enterprise. Here are the high-level steps to configure Azure Sentinel:
- Enable Azure Sentinel: If you haven’t already done so, you will need to enable Azure Sentinel for your subscription. This can be done through the Azure portal by selecting “Sentinel” from the left-hand menu.
- Connect data sources: Azure Sentinel can collect data from a wide range of sources, including Azure services, third-party solutions, and custom data sources. To connect your data sources, you can either use one of the built-in connectors or create a custom connector.
- Create custom detection rules: Azure Sentinel comes with a set of pre-built detection rules that can help you identify potential security threats. However, you can also create custom detection rules based on your specific requirements. To create a custom detection rule, you will need to define the conditions that trigger the rule and the actions that should be taken when the rule is triggered.
- Configure workbooks and dashboards: Workbooks and dashboards are customizable views that provide insights into your security data. You can create custom workbooks and dashboards that display the data that is most relevant to your organization.
- Configure automation and orchestration: Azure Sentinel provides a range of automation and orchestration capabilities that can help you automate common security tasks, such as incident response and threat hunting. You can use Azure Logic Apps or Microsoft Power Automate to automate these tasks.
- Monitor and respond to security threats: Once you have configured Azure Sentinel, you can use the platform to monitor your security data and respond to potential threats. Azure Sentinel provides a range of tools and features that can help you investigate security incidents, respond to threats, and manage your security operations.
These are the high-level steps to configure Azure Sentinel. However, the specific steps will depend on your organization’s requirements and the data sources you need to connect. For more detailed information on how to configure Azure Sentinel, you can refer to the Azure Sentinel documentation.
