What mechanism does Azure provide for incident response?

Azure provides a robust mechanism for incident response through the integration of Azure Security Center and Azure Sentinel. This integration is essential for effectively managing and responding to security incidents within your Azure environment.

Azure Security Center functions as a unified security management system that helps organizations improve their security posture, while providing advanced threat protection across hybrid cloud workloads. It collects and analyzes security data from your Azure resources and provides recommendations to strengthen your security measures.

On the other hand, Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that offers intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the enterprise. By integrating with Azure Security Center, it combines the security recommendations and insights with powerful analytics, machine learning, and automated response capabilities.

This synergy allows organizations to detect, investigate, and respond to incidents swiftly and effectively. For example, when a potential threat is identified, Azure Sentinel can automate the case management and alerting processes, allowing security teams to focus on more critical tasks rather than manually investigating every minor alert.

The other options listed, while they play significant roles in the Azure ecosystem, do not specifically address incident response in the same integrated and proactive manner that Azure Security Center and Azure Sentinel do. Azure Backup and Recovery Tools focus more on data recovery rather than incident management
