A security operations team is configuring Microsoft Sentinel to automatically enrich incidents with threat intelligence data from a custom feed. They also want to automatically assign these enriched incidents to a specific analyst group if the incident severity is high. Which Microsoft Sentinel feature should be used to achieve this automation?

- DAnalytics Rules
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Automation Rules
Automation rules in Microsoft Sentinel allow for the automatic execution of actions on incidents, such as enriching them with external data, changing their status, or assigning them to a specific owner or group, based on predefined conditions.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Workbooks are used for data visualization and monitoring, not for automating incident response actions.
- B. Hunting Queries are used for proactive threat discovery, not for automated incident handling.
- D. Analytics Rules are used for detecting threats and generating incidents, not for incident response automation.
