As attacks span identities, devices, and cloud workloads, security teams need better ways to understand relationships across their data. This tech blog introduces Microsoft Sentinel graph, which brings graph analytics into security operations to interconnect activity, assets, and threat intelligence. Read the blog to understand how Sentinel graph adds deeper context to security analysis, then contact Definitive Solutions to explore how it fits into your security platform.
What is Microsoft Sentinel graph?
Microsoft Sentinel graph is a core capability of the Microsoft Sentinel platform that provides a deeply connected map of your digital estate. It integrates data across endpoints, cloud, email, identity, and SaaS applications, enriched with threat intelligence. This graph enables defenders and AI to quickly understand relationships and context, facilitating faster responses to potential security breaches.
How does Sentinel graph enhance security operations?
Sentinel graph enhances security operations by allowing defenders to visualize complex relationships between users, devices, and assets. This capability supports proactive threat hunting and incident response by revealing potential attack paths and vulnerabilities, thus enabling security teams to prioritize their efforts and mitigate risks more effectively.
What are the key features of Sentinel graph?
Key features of Microsoft Sentinel graph include the incident graph, which analyzes the blast radius during investigations, and the hunting graph, which helps analysts connect disparate data to uncover hidden attack paths. Additionally, the data risk graph in Purview provides a unified view of data leaks and insider risks, enabling teams to understand the full impact of incidents and take targeted actions.
