What Is Microsoft Sentinel?

Microsoft Sentinel — formerly Azure Sentinel — is a cloud-native SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation & Response) solution. It collects security signals across your entire digital estate, applies hyperscale analytics and built-in AI to surface real threats, and automates response at machine speed.

In 2025 it evolved beyond a SIEM into an AI-first security platform — adding a unified security data lake, security graph, and agentic defense capabilities, all delivered through the unified Microsoft Defender portal.

  • Deploys in minutes across on-premises, multicloud, SaaS, OT and IoT — no hardware to rack or maintain.
  • Correlates billions of signals to uncover hidden, multi-stage attacks that isolated tools miss.
  • Responds automatically — isolate a host, disable an account, or trigger a playbook before a threat spreads.

Built for the Agentic Era of Security

Microsoft Sentinel is no longer just a SIEM — it’s the data-first foundation for AI-powered, agentic defense. Future-proof your investment with the platform Microsoft is building the next decade of security on.

Generally Available

Sentinel Data Lake

A purpose-built, open-format security data lake for cost-efficient ingestion and long-term retention — slashing the cost of keeping security telemetry for compliance and hunting.
Public Preview

Sentinel Graph

Turns telemetry into a security graph that maps relationships between assets, identities and attack paths — so investigations follow the blast radius, not just the alert.
Public Preview

Sentinel MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that lets AI security agents query and act on your security data through a standardized, governed interface.
Integrated

Security Copilot

Generative-AI assistance for incident response, threat hunting and posture management — with agents that act within seconds of a high-confidence signal.

Why Real-Time Detection Is No Longer Optional

The economics of attack have shifted. AI has made intrusion faster, cheaper and harder to spot — and identity is now the front line.

NPC-Certified. Data Privacy Act Experts.

Most Microsoft partners can deploy Sentinel. Few can prove they understand Philippine data protection from the inside. Tech One Global holds National Privacy Commission registration and the Data Privacy Seal, and we deploy Sentinel with compliance-first configurations aligned to the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) — role-based access control, encryption, retention policies and audit logging that map directly to NPC accountability requirements. When your Data Protection Officer asks “can we prove it to the regulator?”, the answer is yes.

Frequently asked questions

Microsoft Sentinel in the Philippines

What is Microsoft Sentinel used for in the Philippines?

Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM and SOAR solution that Philippine enterprises, BPOs, financial institutions and government agencies use to detect, investigate and respond to cyber threats in real time. It centralizes signals from cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments into one dashboard, surfaces suspicious activity using AI, and automates response. It’s especially suited to organizations handling sensitive data in BFSI, healthcare, BPO and government. Tech One Global deploys and co-manages Sentinel with local expertise tailored to Philippine regulatory and operational requirements.

Yes. Sentinel supports compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) through enterprise-grade controls — encryption, role-based access control, audit logs and configurable retention — that align with National Privacy Commission requirements. As an NPC-certified partner, Tech One Global configures Sentinel so your data handling, retention and security policies meet both local and global standards, with audit evidence ready for your DPO.

Sentinel uses flexible models: pay-as-you-go (billed per GB ingested), commitment tiers (volume discounts for consistent ingestion), a low-cost data lake tier for long-term retention, and a data grant for eligible Microsoft 365 E5 customers. Actual cost depends on data volume, log sources and retention. Tech One Global provides custom quotes and cost-optimization guidance so you control spend while maintaining full coverage.

Sentinel offers 340+ native connectors. It integrates natively with Microsoft 365, Azure, Microsoft Defender and Entra ID, and ingests from firewalls, VPNs, network appliances, servers and endpoints. For hybrid and multicloud estates it connects to AWS, GCP, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Cisco, Check Point and more — giving unified visibility with no blind spots. Tech One Global configures every relevant source for comprehensive monitoring.

Sentinel has expanded from a SIEM into an AI-first security platform. The Sentinel data lake is now generally available for cost-efficient ingestion and long-term retention, with Sentinel graph and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in public preview to power agentic, AI-driven defense. Microsoft is also unifying Sentinel into the Defender portal, with the Azure portal experience sunsetting on March 31, 2027. Tech One Global helps you adopt these capabilities and migrate ahead of the deadline.

Tech One Global Philippines is a trusted Microsoft Solutions Partner with award-winning expertise deploying and managing Sentinel across ASEAN. We provide end-to-end services — setup, connector configuration, analytics tuning, automated response, 24/7 co-managed SOC, and NPC/DPA-aligned compliance — making us a leading choice for Philippine organizations modernizing their security operations.
