Today, we are announcing the 2^nd
annual Hackathon for Azure Sentinel! This hackathon challenges
security experts around the globe to build end-to-end cybersecurity solutions
for Azure Sentinel that delivers enterprise value by collecting data, managing
security, detecting, hunting, investigating, and responding to constantly
evolving threats. We invite you to participate in this hackathon for a chance

Azure Sentinel provides
a platform for security analysts and threat hunters of various levels to not
only leverage existing content like workbooks (dashboard), playbooks (workflow
orchestrations), analytic rules (detections), hunting queries, etc. but also build custom content and solutions as well.
Furthermore, Azure Sentinel also provides APIs
for integrating different types of applications to connect with Azure Sentinel
data and insights. Here are few examples of end-to-end solutions that
unlocks the potential of Azure Sentinel and drives enterprise value.

Azure Sentinel Solutions blogpost provides examples of

vertical value.
