Microsoft Sentinel Starter Kit | Azure Sentinel Services

Intelligent cybersecurity framework

What is Sentinel Starter Kit?

The Sentinel Starter Kit is a structured framework for Microsoft Sentinel, designed to provide a solid foundation based upon Microsoft best practices for your Sentinel SIEM. It ingests data from standardised sources, generating a valuable view of your environment. This enables enhanced visibility, control, and automated responses through customised Workbooks (dashboards) and Playbooks (automation).

Over several months, Azured’s security experts work to tune and refine your instance of Microsoft Sentinel, categorising and prioritising incidents whilst building upon your automated responses.

On completion of the Sentinel Starter Kit, the organisation will have the flexibility to expand its Microsoft Sentinel service to include new data sources, enhanced visibility and automated remediation of threats. The Sentinel Starter Kit delivers a usable Sentinel SIEM, ready to grow in the direction of your choosing.
