What's New: CrowdStrike Falcon Data Replicator V2 Data Connector is now Generally Available!
The CrowdStrike Falcon Data replicator V2 Data connector is now available as a part of the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection solution in Microsoft Sentinel Content Hub. The connector leverages an Azure Function – based backend to poll and ingest CrowdStrike Falcon Data Replicator logs at scale. Some of the advantages this new V2 data connector offers are:Cowrie honeypot and its Integration with Microsoft Sentinel.
Honeypot: Honeypot is a security mechanism designed to attract, detect, and analyze malicious activities and attackers by simulating a vulnerable system or network service. The primary purpose of a honeypot is to provide a controlled environment where security professionals can observe and study attack methods, tools, and behaviors without putting actual production systems at risk. Integrating Honeypot (Cowrie) with Microsoft Sentinel brings several benefits for enhancing cybersecurity operations. Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) service that provides intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the enterprise. By combining Cowrie’s detailed honeypot data with Sentinel’s advanced analytics and automation capabilities, organizations can achieve a more comprehensive and effective security posture.

Azure Function Apps offer a convenient way to execute functions in a server-less environment. They allow users to write functions in C#, Java, JavaScript, PowerShell, Python and Typescript which can then be called using several trigger options. One of the most common triggers is the HTTP trigger allowing functions to be called like a REST API. This article shows how to build a Copilot for Security API plugin that calls an Azure Function App.
