Microsoft has announced significant advancements in its cybersecurity platform, Microsoft Sentinel, to address the evolving challenges posed by agentic AI in modern threat landscapes. The latest updates include the general availability of the Sentinel data lake and the public preview of the Sentinel graph and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
These enhancements empower security teams to transition from reactive to predictive defense strategies. By leveraging graph-based context, semantic access, and agentic orchestration, Microsoft Sentinel enables defenders to ingest signals, correlate across domains, and empower AI agents built in Security Copilot, VS Code using GitHub Copilot, or other developer platforms.

The integration of Sentinel with Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Purview provides a unified security ecosystem, allowing defenders to trace attack paths, understand impact, and prioritize response all within familiar workflows.
Microsoft‘s commitment to innovation is further demonstrated through collaborations with industry leaders. The company is working with Accenture, ServiceNow, and Zscaler to strengthen the security ecosystem together.
