The Best of Microsoft Sentinel Now in Microsoft Defender

Microsoft just took a big leap in security operations. The powerful SIEM capabilities of Microsoft Sentinel are now fully integrated into the Microsoft Defender portal. This means a unified, streamlined security experience for analysts and security teams everywhere.

What’s New: Unified Security Operations Experience

Over the past year, Microsoft has been combining threat protection tools into one platform. Now, the advanced SIEM features from Microsoft Sentinel are accessible directly within Defender. This integration supports multi-tenant and multi-workspace environments, allowing security teams to collaborate and manage incidents across various Sentinel tenants from a single queue.

“The Defender portal is a game-changer. Our team is faster, more focused, and finally working in one place.” — Security Operations Lead, Global Financial Services

This unified experience means less context switching and faster incident response in today’s fast-moving threat landscape.
