Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900)Describe the capabilities of Microsoft Security solutionsMedium
A security operations center (SOC) team needs to automate their incident response playbooks for common security alerts detected by Microsoft Sentinel. They want to integrate Sentinel with other security tools and services to streamline remediation actions. Which Microsoft Sentinel capability enables this automation and orchestration?
- AAnalytics Rules
- BWorkbooks
- CPlaybooks
- DHunting Queries
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Playbooks
Microsoft Sentinel playbooks are automated and scalable sets of procedures that can be run in response to a security alert or incident. They are built on Azure Logic Apps and allow for integration with other services to automate response actions.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Analytics Rules define conditions for detecting threats and generating alerts, but don't automate responses.
- B. Workbooks provide interactive dashboards and reports for data visualization, not automation.
- D. Hunting Queries are used for proactive threat hunting, not for automated incident response.
