Microsoft Sentinel Log integrity and non-repudiation

Darren Hughes 0

I have a question about Microsoft Sentinels Log integrity and non-repudiation properties of audit logs. For Example SPLUNK uses Bucket hashing to protect it's logs. Does Sentinel via Azure have any such protection, or can anyone shed light on how the log files immutability is guaranteed?

Data in database storage can't be altered once ingested but can be deleted via purge API path. Although data can't be altered, some certifications require that data is kept immutable and can't be changed or deleted in storage. Data immutability can be achieved using data export to a storage account that is configured as immutable storage.

So is the tamper proofing reliant on the fact that "Azure Monitor is an append-only data platform" ?

Correct and Microsoft Sentinel uses that data store. As per the statement if immutable to you is tamper proof but you are ok with DELETE then that's the solution.
