Is Microsoft Sentinel a data lifecycle management solution?

Microsoft Sentinel is not primarily classified as a data lifecycle management solution. Instead, it is a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution designed to provide intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the enterprise. Its primary focus is on enabling organizations to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats in real-time, leveraging advanced technologies such as machine learning and AI.

Data lifecycle management typically refers to the policies and processes of managing the flow of data throughout its lifecycle, from creation and storage to archiving and deletion. While Microsoft Sentinel can collect and analyze security-related data, it does not specialize in the comprehensive management of data through its lifecycle as traditional data lifecycle management solutions do.

Understanding this distinction clarifies why Microsoft Sentinel is better suited for security posture management rather than data lifecycle management.
