What are Sentinel Workbooks?

Sentinel Workbooks are interactive, shareable reports that combine KQL queries and visualizations to offer insights into your security data. They can help you monitor, investigate, and respond to security incidents more effectively.

Using Built-in Workbooks

Sentinel comes with several built-in workbooks for common security scenarios. These can serve as a starting point for your custom dashboards.

Cloning and Customizing Workbooks

To create a custom workbook, you can clone an existing one and modify it with KQL queries relevant to your environment. This allows you to tailor the data displayed to your specific needs.

Adding Visualizations

Visualizations help you quickly understand key metrics in your security data. You can add various types of visualizations, such as tables, charts, and maps, to your workbooks.

Creating Executive Summary Workbooks

Executive summary workbooks offer a high-level overview of your organization’s security posture. These can be shared with management to keep them informed about the status of your security operations.

Sharing Workbooks Across the SOC Team

Workbooks can be easily shared with other members of your SOC team, facilitating collaboration and improving incident response times.
