Automate Security Workflows in Microsoft Sentinel with BlinkOps
Security teams are under increasing pressure to respond faster to threats while managing growing complexity across their environments. Microsoft Sentinel’s elevated integration with BlinkOps helps address this challenge by enabling AI-powered, no-code automation that simplifies and accelerates security operations.
Introducing BlinkOps for Microsoft Sentinel
BlinkOps is a no-code security automation platform designed for security and platform operations teams. It allows users to build and scale workflows using natural language prompts and a library of over 30,000 pre-built actions. With BlinkOps, teams can automate incident response, compliance, and operational tasks—without writing a single line of code.
Now with an enhanced integration with Microsoft Sentinel, BlinkOps enables customers to generate automated playbooks triggered by Sentinel alerts and incidents. This integration helps streamline threat response, reduce mean time to respond (MTTR), and improve operational efficiency.
Why BlinkOps?
Microsoft Sentinel customers may leverage Microsoft Sentinel’s SOAR capabilities through Logic Apps today. BlinkOps enables a new set of additional capabilities to Microsoft Sentinel-powered SOC teams, including:
- AI-generated workflows: Create automation using natural language prompts.
- Pre-built content: Access a rich library of templates tailored to Sentinel use cases.
- No-code experience: Empower security analysts to build and manage workflows without engineering support.
- Scalability: Deploy automation across multiple tenants and environments with ease.
Key Use Cases
The BlinkOps connector for Microsoft Sentinel supports several high-impact scenarios:
- Automated response to alerts and incidents: Trigger sophisticated BlinkOps process workflows based on Sentinel signals to ensure swift, consistent action.
- Incorporate humans in interactive workflows so that automation is complemented with human judgment and decisions.
- Template-driven playbooks: Leverage curated templates for common SOC tasks.
Examples
Consider this scenario: A SOC team wants an automation to help manage the response to phishing alerts in Microsoft Sentinel.
The SOC team starts in BlinkOps by prompting the system to create a workflow. In this case a simple prompt is all it takes, “I would like an automation to respond to Phishing incidents in Microsoft Sentinel. We use Microsoft Security tooling (Teams, Defender, Entra etc.)”
1.BlinkOps Builder Prompt
Which then builds out a workflow of how to automate the handling of a phishing alert in a few seconds.
2. Building Workflow
A straightforward 6 step set of actions is generated:
3. Phishing Workflow
Then, if the SOC team wants to refine or edit a specific workflow step, they can also use the BlinkOps builder AI to update individual steps. In this case, drafting the message to send to the broader security team.
