What should be included in a solution for logging and auditing that integrates Azure WAF logs with Microsoft Sentinel?

Integrating Azure WAF (Web Application Firewall) logs with Microsoft Sentinel requires establishing a data pathway that allows Sentinel to ingest and analyze logs generated by the WAF. Data connectors serve this purpose as they facilitate the connection between the various data sources and Microsoft Sentinel, effectively allowing Sentinel to collect, store, and analyze the WAF logs.

By utilizing data connectors, security teams can ensure that all relevant telemetry data, such as those from Azure WAF, is consistently fed into Microsoft Sentinel. This integration helps in enhancing security monitoring capabilities, enabling proactive threat detection and response by utilizing the rich analytics and machine learning capabilities of Sentinel.

In contrast, while audit logs for Azure services, custom logging queries, and Azure Policies are essential elements in various security practices, they do not directly serve the function of integrating logs from Azure WAF into Microsoft Sentinel. Audit logs track Azure service activities, custom queries allow users to extract specific insights from the logs but do not establish the connection for log ingestion, and Azure Policies are used for governance but are not directly related to log integration processes.
