The Azure Sentinel Siem Engineer focuses on deploying, configuring, and managing Azure Sentinel for security monitoring in cloud environments. In contrast, a Security Analyst performs broader security analysis across various systems, often including incident response and threat detection. While both roles require security certifications and involve security monitoring, the engineer specializes in cloud SIEM tools, whereas the analyst has a more general security oversight role.
