with Benjamin Kovacevic, Matthew Lowe

Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) systems typically take a long time to set up and configure. They're also not necessarily designed with cloud workloads in mind. Microsoft Sentinel enables you to start getting valuable security insights from your cloud and on-premises data quickly. This module helps you get started. Then you will learn about the architecture of Microsoft Sentinel workspaces to ensure you configure your system to meet your organization's security operations requirements.
