SC-200: Perform threat hunting in Microsoft Sentinel - Training (2024)

FAQs

What is hunting in Microsoft Sentinel? ›

With hunts in Microsoft Sentinel, seek out undetected threats and malicious behaviors by creating a hypothesis, searching through data, validating that hypothesis, and acting when needed. Create new analytic rules, threat intelligence, and incidents based on your findings.

SC-200 Training including Certification Exam

The SC 200 Microsoft Security Operations Analyst course reduces organisational risk by mitigating threats using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft 365 Defender, Azure Defender and third-party security products.

One is owned by Microsoft, while the other is a standalone solution by SentinelOne. They provide different solutions regarding data protection and threat intelligence. Both are robust security solutions to help protect data. The way they protect against threats vary.

Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) platform that uses built-in AI to help analyze large volumes of data across an enterprise—fast.

Threat hunters use threat intelligence, as well as other information sources and their own knowledge and expertise, to identify patterns, anomalies, and other IoCs that might indicate the presence of attackers in the environment.

It provides threat intelligence and intelligent security analytic capabilities that facilitate threat visibility, alert detection, threat response, and proactive hunting.

The SC-200 exam requires practical experience with Microsoft 365 workloads and an understanding of its compliance and data governance concepts. It assesses professionals' skills in managing security and compliance solutions in the Microsoft 365 environment. It may not be ideal for entry-level professionals.

The passing score for the Microsoft SC-200 certification exam is 700 out of 1000. Candidates need to get this score to get the certification. Achieving a passing score requires honing skills in threat protection practices, security solutions, and organizational risk management.

My experience with Microsoft Sentinel has been positive. It offers excellent integration with various Microsoft services, providing robust threat detection and response capabilities. Cloud-native design ensures scalability and flexibility, while built-in AI and automation streamline incident response.

Is Microsoft Sentinel a SIEM or SOAR? ›

This results all too often in situations where many alerts are ignored and many incidents aren't investigated, leaving the organization vulnerable to attacks that go unnoticed. Microsoft Sentinel, in addition to being a SIEM system, is also a platform for security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR).

Microsoft Sentinel is generally rated as being easier to use, set up, and administrate. Splunk generally gets better ratings for quality of support and ease of doing business. Most people trust Microsoft's products more, including its Network Management, Incident Management, and Security Intelligence.

Azure Sentinel was renamed Microsoft Sentinel to reflect the breadth of the product's capabilities and provide protection across multiple cloud solutions.

Sentinel can be used to obtain security analysis and alerts on corporate threats (which can be prioritized and displayed in lists), as well as to respond to them. This is the purpose of SIEM systems, which detect, analyze and respond to threats. This automates a task that can be scaled according to security needs.

In summary, the Microsoft Sentinel Managed SOC provides a flexible security solution for organizations looking to enhance their security posture.

These modes describe the physical strategies that predators deploy in the pursuit of prey (Huey and Pianka, 1981; Schoener, 1971). Coarsely, there are three hunting modes that have evolved among predators including sit-and-wait, sit-and-pursue, and active (McLaughlin, 1989; Schmitz, 2007, Schmitz, 2008).

Threat hunters comb through security data. They search for hidden malware or attackers and look for patterns of suspicious activity that a computer might have missed or judged to be resolved but isn't. They also help patch an enterprise's security system to prevent that type of cyberattack from recurring.

Hunting, also known as oscillation or cycling, is a common problem in control loops that can affect the performance, stability and safety of a process. Hunting occurs when the control loop fails to reach a steady-state value and instead keeps overshooting and undershooting the setpoint.

Threat Hunting is an investigative tool which allows for advanced querying on all malicious and benign forensics events collected from the organization's endpoints with Harmony Endpoint installed . The information collected lets you to: Investigate the full scope of an attack.
