You need a solution that empowers your existing SecOps team to see the threats clearer and eliminate the distractions. An expected, shortfall of 3.5M security professionals by 2021 will further increase the challenges for security operations teams. As a result, many legitimate threats go unnoticed. SecOps teams are inundated with a very high volume of alerts and spend far too much time on tasks like infrastructure setup and maintenance. Eliav Levi, director of product management at Microsoft, explains:

Microsoft feels they can address this growing problem with Azure Sentinel. Organizations are struggling with maintaining proactive security practices. Azure Sentinel is a platform service that includes artificial intelligence and machine learning to reduce the burden of traditional SIEMs by eliminating the need to maintain infrastructure and reducing alert fatigue by providing prescriptive guidance on emerging threats. SEIMs are used by security professionals as a data store that is capable of aggregating security events from logs across a variety of systems, including servers, firewalls, routers, switches and end-user computing devices. In a recent blog post, Microsoft announced further investments to its intelligent security offerings in the form of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product called Azure Sentinel.
