Today, we are announcing the 3rd Hackathon for Microsoft Sentinel! This hackathon challenges security experts around the globe to build end-to-end cybersecurity solutions for Microsoft Sentinel that delivers enterprise value by collecting data, managing security, detecting, hunting, investigating, and responding to constantly evolving threats. We invite you to participate in this hackathon for a chance to solve this challenge and win a piece of the $18000 cash prize pool*. This online hackathon runs from March 28th through May 16th, 2022, and is open to individuals, teams, and organizations globally.
Microsoft Sentinel provides a platform for security analysts and threat hunters of various levels to not only leverage existing content like workbooks (dashboard), playbooks (workflow orchestrations), analytic rules (detections), hunting queries, etc. but also build custom content and solutions as well.
Microsoft Sentinel solutions can be of two types:
1. Product solution - Solutions that deliver E2E product value and includes data connectors and associated content like workbooks, analytics etc. for a certain product. For e.g., Cisco Umbrella solution or Microsoft Defender solution, etc. These generally operate on a single data source. Refer to the list of solutions for Microsoft Sentinel as examples (all solutions not under Domain solutions category are all product solutions).
2. Domain solution - Solutions that provide E2E domain or industry vertical value to enterprise like specialized solutions for healthcare compliance or financial compliance or vulnerability management or healthcare product integration, SAP scenarios, etc. These are generally data source agnostic and can operate on multiple data sources unlike product solutions. View list of current domain solutions for Microsoft Sentinel as examples.
Furthermore, Microsoft Sentinel also provides APIs for integrating different types of applications to connect with Microsoft Sentinel data and insights. Here are few examples of end-to-end solutions that unlocks the potential of Microsoft Sentinel and drives enterprise value.
You can discover more examples by reviewing content and solutions in the Microsoft Sentinel GitHub repository and blogs. You can refer to the last year’s Microsoft Sentinel Hackathon for ideas too!
