<\/div>\n

We\u2019re pleased to announce that in its first year of inclusion in the Gartner Magic Quadrant report, Microsoft Azure Sentinel has been named a Visionary, where we were recognized for our completeness of vision for SIEM.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Gartner has said that \u201ccloud SIEM will be the future of how many organizations consume technology.\u201d2<\/sup> We wholeheartedly agree! Today, security teams are constantly asked to do more with less. They need to protect expanding digital estates, detect increasingly advanced threats through huge amounts of noise, and keep up with a massive backlog of investigations.<\/p>\n

Azure Sentinel<\/a> is built from the ground up to be completely cloud-native, and it enables security teams to focus on protecting their organizations instead of maintaining infrastructure. It collects, correlates, and analyzes data at cloud scale across the entire organization, resulting in higher efficiency and more effective security analytics.<\/p>\n

We released Azure Sentinel in November 2019 as the first cloud-native SIEM on a major public cloud. Since then, we\u2019ve helped more than 9,000 customers across a broad range of verticals modernize their security operations and have received industry recognition for our market-leading approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the most fulfilling things about working on Azure Sentinel has been seeing our customers realize the value of our vision firsthand. At MVP Healthcare<\/a>, moving SecOps to the cloud gave the security team unprecedented agility, allowing them to react and scale faster. At ASOS<\/a>, Azure Sentinel empowered the security team to cut issue resolution times in half. And at LinkedIn<\/a>, moving to Azure Sentinel allowed them to significantly reduce operational overhead, plus reduce investigation times dramatically.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re honored that we have been able to help so many organizations during Azure Sentinel\u2019s short time in market and are thrilled that we were recognized in this Gartner report for our vision for the future of SIEM.<\/p>\n

Looking back and looking forward<\/h2>\n

While we\u2019re excited about how far we\u2019ve come in the last year and a half, we\u2019re just getting started. Every day, we\u2019re learning from customers and partners about how we can improve. And we aren\u2019t slowing down\u2014empowering SecOps with new innovations for Azure Sentinel is one of the highest priorities for our security engineering team.<\/p>\n

In 2021, we\u2019ve delivered key innovations across a variety of investment areas, including data collection, AI, machine learning, automation, and much more. A few highlights include:<\/p>\n
