In this session, I take you through a practical deep dive into automating Microsoft Sentinel deployment using GitHub Actions. The focus is entirely on real implementation: building Infrastructure‑as‑Code templates, creating secure CI/CD pipelines, and automating deployment of Sentinel content such as analytics rules, playbooks, workbooks, and hunting queries.
I will demonstrate a production‑ready workflow where a single GitHub commit triggers a full Sentinel deployment. You will also see how this automation integrates with Microsoft Defender XDR to streamline detection, investigation, and response across the entire security operations environment.
This practical session is hands‑on blueprint for building an automated, consistent, and scalable SOC deployment pipeline
