About this tag
Discussions on this tag center on Microsoft Sentinel as a SIEM and SOAR platform, with a focus on its integrations, updates, and operational realities. Topics include the BigID connector's unclear schema for data security posture management, Securonix's Threat Analytics enriching detections within Sentinel, and the preview of custom detection rules in Repositories for content-as-code workflows. A recurring theme is that data residency alone does not ensure sovereign SOC compliance, as telemetry crossing borders raises jurisdiction and access concerns. The tag also covers related Azure Monitor API end-of-support impacts on data ingestion and broader security operations considerations for Windows and Microsoft 365 environments.
