Sumo Logic to Sentinel SOC Migration

Sumo Logic to Sentinel SOC Migration: Upgrading to a Cloud-Native SIEM

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, businesses in Dubai and across the UAE are increasingly shifting from Sumo Logic to Microsoft Sentinel to enhance threat detection, incident response, and security automation. While Sumo Logic provides cloud-based log management and SIEM capabilities, many organizations find its pricing model, limited AI-driven automation, and lack of deep integration with Microsoft security tools to be challenges in modern Security Operations Centers (SOC).

What are the benefits of Sumo Logic to Sentinel SOC migration?

Migrating from Sumo Logic to Microsoft Sentinel for your Security Operations Center (SOC) offers numerous benefits, especially in scalability, integration, and cost-effectiveness. Sentinel, a cloud-native SIEM built on Azure, provides seamless integration with Microsoft 365, Azure services, and hundreds of third-party tools. This allows for real-time threat detection, investigation, and automated response using advanced AI and machine learning. Compared to Sumo Logic, Sentinel often offers more flexible pricing models and lower total cost of ownership, particularly for organizations already in the Microsoft ecosystem. Sentinel also supports scalable log ingestion, simplified rule creation, and powerful workbooks for data visualization.

Overall, the migration enhances threat visibility, operational efficiency, and security posture across hybrid and cloud environments, making it a strategic upgrade for modern SOC teams.

The migration process overview

1. Assessment and Planning
The migration process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the current Sumo Logic environment. This includes identifying data sources, custom queries, dashboards, alert rules, and integrations. Teams evaluate the security requirements and define clear objectives for the transition to Microsoft Sentinel. A detailed migration plan is created, outlining timelines, responsibilities, and a phased approach to minimize disruptions.

2. Data Source Mapping and Integration
Next, all log sources and data streams from Sumo Logic are mapped to their equivalents in Sentinel. This step ensures compatibility and complete data coverage. Sentinel connectors are then configured to ingest logs from critical systems like firewalls, servers, endpoints, cloud platforms, and Microsoft 365, ensuring that security telemetry flows consistently into the new SOC environment.

3. Rule and Alert Migration
Custom queries, detection rules, and alerting logic from Sumo Logic are recreated in Sentinel using Kusto Query Language (KQL). Where applicable, Sentinel’s built-in analytics rules and threat intelligence can be used to enhance or replace legacy alerts. Automation playbooks using Azure Logic Apps are developed to streamline incident response and remediation processes.

4. Dashboard and Workbook Rebuild
Visualizations and dashboards from Sumo Logic are rebuilt in Sentinel using workbooks. This step helps maintain continuity in SOC monitoring and reporting. Sentinel workbooks offer flexible, interactive views of security data, making it easier for analysts to identify trends, anomalies, and incidents in real time.

5. Testing, Training, and Optimization
Before full deployment, the new SOC setup is rigorously tested to ensure data accuracy, alert reliability, and workflow efficiency. SOC teams are trained on Sentinel’s interface, features, and KQL for query creation. Continuous tuning and optimization follow post-deployment, ensuring that the Sentinel-based SOC delivers robust, responsive, and scalable threat detection and response capabilities.
