Description
Become a Microsoft Security Operations Analyst through Real Enterprise Labs
Are you preparing for the Microsoft SC-200 Security Operations Analyst Associate certification or looking to build real-world experience with Microsoft's security platform?
This course is designed to help you develop practical Security Operations Center (SOC) skills while preparing for the SC-200 certification exam. You'll build a complete Microsoft security environment and investigate realistic security incidents using the same tools Security Operations Analysts use in enterprise environments.
Throughout the course, you'll deploy and configure Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Entra ID Protection, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. You'll learn how these solutions work together to detect, investigate, hunt, and respond to modern cyber threats.
Learn by Doing with 60+ Enterprise Labs
Unlike many certification courses that rely primarily on demonstrations, this course is built around 60+ enterprise-style hands-on labs that simulate real Security Operations Center investigations.
You'll perform real investigations, write Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries, build analytics rules, configure automation, perform threat hunting, investigate identity-based attacks, and respond to security incidents using enterprise-style lab scenarios.
