The audit logs of Azure Sentinel are maintained in the Azure Storage Account.

Azure Sentinel is a cloud-based SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution that provides intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across enterprise networks. It is built on top of Azure Log Analytics and uses Microsoft's AI and machine learning capabilities to detect and respond to threats in real time.

Azure Sentinel collects and analyzes data from various sources, including Azure services, on-premises systems, and other cloud environments. It ingests data from sources such as Azure Activity Logs, Azure Security Center, Azure Active Directory, and Microsoft Defender ATP, among others.

Azure Sentinel stores the collected data in an Azure Storage Account. The data is then processed by the Azure Sentinel service, which uses advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms to identify and prioritize security incidents.

Azure Storage Account is a highly scalable and secure storage solution that is designed for storing and managing large amounts of unstructured data. It provides a reliable and cost-effective way to store and manage data, and it can be easily integrated with other Azure services.

In summary, the audit logs of Azure Sentinel are maintained in the Azure Storage Account, which is a highly scalable and secure storage solution designed for storing and managing large amounts of unstructured data.
