Azure Sentinel and Threat Experts will help cyber defenders react faster and better manage security threats.

According to Microsoft, the new tools will reduce the level of 'noise', time consuming tasks, and false alarms.

Microsoft claims that it uses artificial intelligence technology to sift through data to identify threats. The results are shown in an Azure-based dashboard.

Microsoft Threat Experts is a 'threat-hunting service' that allows you to track down and prioritise threats using Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).

Ultimately, one thing is clear, Microsoft is taking security very seriously, which is great news for all of us!
