Microsoft Sentinel

Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM built directly into Azure. It handles security operations by detecting threats, automating incident responses, and storing logs in a data lake to reduce overall SIEM expenses. The platform focuses on speeding up detection and streamlining workflows for security teams operating within the Microsoft ecosystem.

This setup suits organizations already invested in Azure infrastructure. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier, meaning every test or production deployment incurs immediate costs. Since it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, there is no zero-cost entry point for evaluation or small-scale pilots.
