Entry Level Azure Sentinel focuses on managing cloud-based security information and event management (SIEM) using Microsoft Azure tools, while Security Analysts handle broader security operations, incident response, and threat analysis across various platforms. Both roles require security certifications, but Azure Sentinel roles are more specialized in cloud security, whereas Security Analysts have a wider scope in cybersecurity.
