Defend against cyberthreats with Microsoft's security operations platform
Learn how to investigate, respond to, and hunt for threats using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. In this course you will learn how to mitigate cyberthreats using these technologies. Specifically, you will configure and use Microsoft Sentinel as well as utilize Kusto Query Language (KQL) to perform detection, analysis, and reporting. The course was designed for people who work in a Security Operations job role and helps learners prepare for the exam SC-200: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst.
Program Snapshot
Engagement scoped to cohort
- MCT-led delivery
- Private cohort / virtual ILT
- Typical response: 1 business day
VNode ITeS delivers Defend against cyberthreats with Microsoft's security operations platform as an MCT-led Microsoft program for Security Engineer, Security Operations Analyst. Typical duration is 4 days (Virtual, On-site, or Hybrid). Labs follow production-shaped scenarios rather than slide-only walkthroughs. Certification prep maps to SC-200 without turning the week into a dump of Learn modules. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.
