Your guide to all things Azure Sentinel at Microsoft Ignite, November 2-4, 2021.

Listed below are some opportunities to hear and learn about Azure Sentinel, but also areas that are related to knowledge you need to build your security stance and approach that will enable you to use Azure Sentinel better.
