Microsoft unveils cloud-based AI cybersecurity tools
Microsoft launched two cloud-based security tools, Azure Sentinel and Threat Experts, which use artificial intelligence to help security professionals respond to immediate threats more quickly. Azure Sentinel is designed to pull in large amounts of data from other cloud-based services -- Microsoft is billing the platform as a "cloud-native Security Information and Event Management tool." Sentinel lets users connect to and collect data from all sources including applications, servers, and devices running on-premises or in the cloud. The platform can also integrate with existing tools, whether business applications, other security products, or home grown tools, and users can add their own machine-learning models, as well as tailored detections, machine learning models and threat intelligence, the company said. Microsoft touts the AI's abilities to reduce noise from legitimate events with built-in machine learning and knowledge based on analyzing trillions of signals daily.
