What is the purpose of establishing a connection to the Sentinel MCP Server in Microsoft Sentinel?

To enable external tools to interact with Sentinel data through a standardized protocol

To automatically patch security vulnerabilities in Sentinel

To increase the storage capacity of the Log Analytics workspace

To replace the need for analytics rules in threat detection

A security analyst runs a hunting query in Microsoft Sentinel that returns a large number of results. The analyst wants to focus on the most suspicious activity first and also wants to see the trend over time. Which approach should the analyst use to analyze the results?

Create a summary rule table from the results and then query that table.

Export the results to a CSV file and open it in Excel for manual analysis.

Sort the results by a risk score column and then use a timechart to visualize the trend.

Convert the query into a KQL job and run it asynchronously.

Contoso's security team suspects a threat actor is using PowerShell to download payloads from a known malicious domain. They need to identify all PowerShell execution events in the last 7 days that reference this domain, and then review the results in the Microsoft Sentinel Hunting page. Which approach should they use?

Create a scheduled analytics rule that runs every hour and alerts on any PowerShell process containing the domain.

Create a KQL hunting query that filters SecurityEvent and DeviceProcessEvents tables for PowerShell activity containing the domain, then save it to the Hunting page.

Use a KQL job to run the query against archived logs and store the results in a new table for later analysis.

Create a summary rule table that aggregates PowerShell events daily and query that table for the domain.
