Today, we are announcing the very first online Hackathon for Azure Sentinel! This hackathon challenges security experts around the globe to develop detections, dashboards, tools, integrations, and more to help enterprises better protect, detect, and respond 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 $9000 cash prize pool*. This online hackathon runs from May 6, 2020 to July 1, 2020 and is open to individuals, teams, and organizations globally.

Azure 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 as needed. Furthermore, Azure Sentinel also provides APIs for integrating different types of applications to connect with Azure Sentinel data and insights.
