Automating Threat Response using Sentinel Playbooks
This lab has been outdated.
Azure Sentinel (Microsoft Sentinel) is a cloud-based SIEM (security information event management) solution that offers advanced intelligence tools across the organizations to secure the cloud and on-premises resources. The core offering of the Azure Sentinel revolves around collecting data at scale while detecting the threat in real-time using artificial intelligence to hunt the suspicious activities, ultimately performing actions to either remediate based on the preconfigured actions or provide a response plan to the security teams in an organization.
Playbooks in the Sentinel offers automated remediation and proactive action tools to handle many incidents on autopilot. The playbook uses the Azure Logic App designer to build the workflow for automated response actions. The playbooks can run manually or be triggered automatically for specific analytic rules to resolve known issues without involving the security team in manually investigating every incident. Microsoft also offers templates for various industry-wide used actions to get you up and running without creating the playbooks from scratch.
In this hands-on lab, you will understand how to configure automated responses to security incidents in Sentinel using Playbooks.
