Extracting Parameters from Azure Sentinel Playbooks | SC-200 Exam | Microsoft Security Operations Analyst

Correct Answer: A.

Reference:

In Azure Sentinel, a playbook is an automated workflow that orchestrates a series of actions to respond to specific security incidents. Playbooks can be triggered automatically based on certain conditions or manually by a security analyst. When a playbook is executed, it can extract several parameters from Azure Sentinel that can be used to analyze, investigate, or respond to security incidents.

The following parameters can be natively extracted from Azure Sentinel using a playbook:

A. Entities: An entity is an object in Azure Sentinel that represents a specific component or context of a security incident. Examples of entities in Azure Sentinel include IP addresses, URLs, user accounts, and file hashes. Playbooks can extract entities from Azure Sentinel and use them as inputs for further analysis or actions. For example, a playbook can extract the source IP address of a network connection that triggered an alert and use it to query a threat intelligence feed for more information.

B. Analytics rules: An analytics rule is a logic construct in Azure Sentinel that detects specific patterns or behaviors in security data. Analytics rules can be used to generate alerts, incidents, or other types of events in Azure Sentinel. Playbooks can extract information about the analytics rules that generated a particular alert or incident and use it to determine the severity or relevance of the security event. For example, a playbook can extract the name and description of the analytics rule that generated an alert and use it to assign a priority level to the incident.

C. Incidents: An incident is a collection of related alerts or events in Azure Sentinel that represent a potential security threat. Incidents can be managed and tracked in Azure Sentinel using a variety of tools and workflows. Playbooks can extract information about incidents in Azure Sentinel and use it to automate or streamline incident response activities. For example, a playbook can extract the status and severity of an incident and use it to prioritize response activities.

D. Queries: A query is a search expression in Azure Sentinel that retrieves security data from data sources such as logs, events, or alerts. Queries can be used to investigate specific security incidents or to identify trends or patterns in security data. Playbooks can extract queries from Azure Sentinel and use them to retrieve additional information or to perform further analysis. For example, a playbook can extract a query that retrieves all network connections from a particular IP address and use it to identify other potentially compromised systems.
