Frequently Asked Questions

How does Emergent Security use Microsoft Sentinel?

When using Microsoft Sentinel, your company’s sensitive data does not need to leave your network. Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that allows you to collect, analyze, and respond to security events and incidents within your organization. Here are some key points:

On-Premises Data Collection: Sentinel supports on-premises data connectors, which means you can ingest security logs and telemetry directly from your local network without sending the data outside. These connectors allow you to collect data from various sources such as firewalls, servers, Active Directory, and more.
Azure Log Analytics: Sentinel integrates with Azure Log Analytics, a service that enables you to collect, store, and analyze log data from various sources. Log Analytics can be deployed within your Azure virtual network or on-premises, ensuring that sensitive data remains within your network boundaries.
Data Encryption and Security: Sentinel encrypts data both in transit and at rest. When you configure data connectors, you can choose secure communication protocols (such as HTTPS) to transmit data securely. Additionally, data stored in Azure Log Analytics is encrypted using Azure Storage encryption mechanisms.
Data Retention Policies: You have control over how long data is retained in Sentinel. You can set retention policies based on your organization’s requirements. This ensures that sensitive data is not stored longer than necessary.
Access Controls: Azure Sentinel provides role-based access control (RBAC) to manage permissions. You can restrict access to sensitive data by granting permissions only to authorized personnel.
Threat Intelligence and Analytics: Sentinel uses machine learning and threat intelligence to detect anomalies and security incidents. These analytics are performed within the Azure environment, without the need to transfer sensitive data externally.

In summary, Microsoft Sentinel allows you to monitor and secure your network while keeping sensitive data within your organization’s boundaries. Proper configuration and adherence to security best practices ensure that your data remains protected. Always consult with your organization’s security team to tailor Sentinel to your specific requirements.
