Imagine you're a security operations manager in a large multinational corporation. You're tasked with streamlining your team's operations and enhancing their hunting capabilities. Your team currently uses multiple tools for different tasks, which often lead to complexity and errors. You also want to enable automatic attack disruption for your SAP applications and provide unified entity pages for devices, users, IP addresses, and Azure resources. The solution lies in integrating Microsoft Sentinel into the Microsoft Defender portal.

- Integrate Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR into a single, unified security operations platform in the Microsoft Defender portal. In this case, view Microsoft Sentinel data directly in the Microsoft Defender portal with the rest of your Defender incidents, alerts, vulnerabilities, and other security data. Enabled by installing the Defender XDR connector in Microsoft Sentinel and then onboarding Microsoft Sentinel to the unified operations platform in the Defender portal.

In this module, you learned about the integration of Microsoft Sentinel into the Microsoft Defender portal, creating a unified security operations platform. This integration simplifies operations by reducing the complexity of managing multiple tools, enhancing hunting capabilities, enabling automatic attack disruption for SAP applications, and providing unified entity pages. You also learned about the differences in managing multiple Microsoft Sentinel workspaces between the Azure and Defender portals. Additionally, the module covered the prerequisites for integrating Microsoft Defender XDR with Microsoft Sentinel, including having a Log Analytics workspace with Microsoft Sentinel enabled and access to Microsoft Defender XDR in the Defender portal.
