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 Microsoft 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.
