To ensure our learners can fully benefit from the Azure Sentinel course and understand the intricacies of Azure's security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) capabilities, the following minimum prerequisites are recommended:

• Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts, particularly Microsoft Azure services.
• Familiarity with fundamental security principles and common cybersecurity threats.
• Experience with Windows and Linux operating systems.
• Knowledge of network concepts, including firewalls, network protocols, and common network services.
• Ability to use command-line interface (CLI) tools and PowerShell scripting.
• Basic understanding of data querying and analytics, with some experience in SQL or similar query languages.
• Awareness of SIEM concepts and their role in security operations.

While prior experience with Azure Sentinel is not a requirement, it is helpful if learners have:

• Previous exposure to any SIEM tool, whether it is a traditional on-premises solution or a cloud-native service.
• Experience with log analysis and interpretation.

These prerequisites are designed to ensure a foundational level of knowledge that will allow learners to engage with the course content effectively, without feeling overwhelmed. We encourage those who may not meet all these prerequisites to take preliminary courses or familiarize themselves with these concepts to ensure a successful learning experience.
