JANUARY 13 (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM) Microsoft Sentinel | AI-Powered Entity Analysis in Sentinel's MCP Server
Assessing the risk of entities is a core task for SOC teams—whether triaging incidents, investigating threats, or automating response workflows. Traditionally, this has required building complex playbooks or custom logic to gather and analyze fragmented security data from multiple sources. With Entity Analyzer, this complexity is eliminated. The tool leverages Sentinel’s semantic understanding of your security data to deliver comprehensive, reasoned risk assessments for any entity your agents encounter. By providing a unified, out-of-the-box solution for entity analysis, Entity Analyzer enables your AI agents to make smarter decisions and automate more tasks—without the need to manually engineer risk evaluation logic for each entity type. This not only accelerates agent development, but also ensures your agents are always working with the most relevant and up-to-date context from across your security environment. And for those building SOAR workflows, Entity Analyzer is natively integrated with Logic Apps, making it easy to enrich entities and automate verdicts within your playbooks.
