Course Overview

Top

The course is dedicated for people who want to learn about Microsoft's cloud environment monitoring tools and framework. At the beginning, you will be introduced to the management of Entra ID, service auditing and logs, roles related to monitoring threats in the cloud, or the implementation of PIM and PAM services.

The next module is to walk you through the secure score functionality and how to improve it with cloud security configuration best practices, Azure Defender for servers and security standards recommendations.

During the course you will be able to configure an environment with EDR enabled, where we will try to attack endpoints and user identity and see how EDR behaves. Then we will go through security operations best practices and make hunting queries.

The implemented EDR solution and other components of the security stack will be linked within the Microsoft SIEM - Sentinel, which will allow monitoring and implementation of responses to threats.
