Azure Sentinel Alerts

Managed Sentinel intends to build and share with the community an extensive list of use-cases with full details such as threat indicators, severity level, MITRE ATT&CK tactics, log sources used to provide the information and situations when they may be a false positive. We are also including the recommended actions for remediating or investigating the security event.
