Elevating MS Sentinel: Advanced Automation and Optimization

Project description

The primary objective of this project is to refine, optimize and create Microsoft Sentinel workbooks/playbooks to improve incident response times, reduce false positives, and automate scenarios.
Here is a small explanation about the difference between workbooks and playbooks:
• Workbooks are detailed, static documents for task guidance and data analysis. They provide step-by-step instructions, templates, and checklists to help security analysts monitor and respond to security events.
• Playbooks are automated workflows that respond to security incidents. They are built using Azure Logic Apps and are designed to streamline and automate incident response processes.

Results

Our role involves upgrading Dienst IT's current workbooks to align with Sentinel standards, improving their readability and functionality. This simplification streamlines incident response, reduces complexity, and optimizes resource utilization. By structuring the workbooks more effectively, we contribute to a smoother security operation, better integrating with Microsoft Sentinel's capabilities and improving overall effectiveness.
This also extends to creating a workbook template, further improving readability and usability. This template will serve as a standardized format for future workbook development, ensuring consistency and making it clearer.
