What Is VAST in Cybersecurity? Explained

Modern cybersecurity requires faster, smarter ways to detect and respond to threats. In this video, explore the VAST (Visual, Agile, and Simple Threat Management) methodology and how it helps organizations improve threat visibility, streamline security operations, and respond more effectively to cyber risks. Learn how VAST uses visualization, agility, and simplified management to enhance threat detection and response—especially when paired with tools like Microsoft Sentinel. Discover real-world scenarios that show how organizations can identify, prioritize, and mitigate threats more efficiently. This video is part of a free course preview from the *Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate*.
