Lecture Notes: Unified SecOps Platform Presentation

Introduction

• Vision: Creating a unified SecOps platform.
  • Focus on integrating Microsoft Sentinel.
  • Provides a single view for all security operations.
  • Integrates SIEM and XDR into one portal.
  • Expands AI capabilities with Co-pilot for security.

Security Approach

1. Global Threat Intelligence:
   • Understand attacker behavior.
   • Turn knowledge into practical detections.
2. Posture Management:
   • Strengthen environment visibility.
   • Understand attacker movement from breach to critical assets.
3. Threat Detection and Response:
   • Combines XDR and SIEM for full visibility.
4. Cybersecurity AI:
   • Automations to disrupt attacks.
   • Provides recommendations and enrichments.

Webinar Overview
