![]() This is the amount of data you plan to ingest per day. You have two options for pricing in Azure Sentinel:Ĭapacity Reservation is a fixed-fee license, where you pay for capacity (and receive discounts based on the amount of capacity you purchase). Now, with GA of Azure Sentinel announced, pricing is also modified slightly. The first 31 days are free for data retention. When you keep data for longer periods, data retention is 0.110 € ($0.13) per month. The first 5 GB is free, then per GB you’d pay 2.522 € ($2.99). This roughly means that you’d pay per gigabyte (GB) for data ingested. I’m glad (again) that you asked! While Azure Sentinel has been in preview for the better part of 2019, pricing was based on Azure Monitor pricing. From here, you can then do all sorts of things like investigating and drilling down on data, hunting for security threats in your organization and analyzing your findings. In order to use Azure Sentinel, you’ll need to provision the service, connect to your data sources (Office 365, Azure AD, etc.) and configure your dashboards. I’m not sure if you’d need both, or multiple different SIEMs, as integrating and building one is a major effort.Īzure Sentinel has been in Preview since February 2019. Azure Sentinel is – to put it simply – Microsoft’s modern implementation of something akin to Splunk. ![]() Why couldn’t use something like Splunk, then? You can, and many organizations do use Splunk. It will help you collect, detect, investigate and respond to security threats and incidents. This translates to the fact that Azure Sentinel can orchestrate workflows based on alerts and incidents – think Logic Apps, for example.Īzure Sentinel runs in Azure, Microsoft’s public cloud platform. Microsoft likes to mention that Azure Sentinel is also a SOAR, or Security Orchestration Automated Response solution. Obviously, there’s much more to security than flipping on service and having a longer lunch than usual. I hear consultants often referring to SIEM when they mean a centralized place to process logs, generate alerts and react to security events. The intention of a SIEM is usually to provide real-time analysis for security alerts throughout the enterprise. What is Azure Sentinel?Īzure Sentinel is Microsoft’s vision of a cloud-based SIEM – which stands for Security Information and Event Management. In this post, I’ll have a look at what Azure Sentinel is, how to get started and what to keep an eye for in the future. What this means, is that Azure Sentinel can be used in production, the pricing has been revealed and it’s stable for enterprise-grade usage. Today, Microsoft announced that Azure Sentinel is now Generally Available (GA). Thanks for reading my blog!
