Today, we are announcing Azure Sentinel Solutions in public preview, featuring a vibrant gallery of 32 solutions for Microsoft and other products. Azure Sentinel solutions provide easier in-product discovery and single-step deployment of end-to-end product, domain, and industry vertical scenarios in Azure Sentinel. Solutions also enables Microsoft partners to deliver combined value for their integrations and productize their investments in Azure Sentinel. This experience is powered by Azure Marketplace for solutions’ discovery and deployment, and by Microsoft Partner Center for solutions’ authoring and publishing.

 

Azure Sentinel solutions currently include integrations as packaged content with a combination of one or many Azure Sentinel data connectors, workbooks, analytics, hunting queries, playbooks, and parsers (Kusto Functions) for delivering end-to-end product value or domain value or industry vertical value for your SOC requirements. All these solutions are available for you to use at no additional cost (regular data ingest or Azure Logic Apps cost may apply depending on usage of content in Azure Sentinel).

 

Few use cases of Azure Sentinel solutions are outlined as follows.

  • On-demand out-of-the-box content: Solutions unlock the capability of getting rich Azure Sentinel content out-of-the-box for complete scenarios as per your needs via centralized discovery in Solutions gallery and single step deployment capability. Feel free to customize this content per your needs post deploy!
