Course Overview

The Microsoft Security for Business Leaders course is designed to equip non-technical professionals with essential cybersecurity awareness and risk management skills needed to protect organizational assets. This training prepares candidates for the Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Business Professional (beta) certification, assessed through Exam SC-730. It is ideal for business analysts, project managers, marketing and sales professionals, and administrative staff who handle sensitive data but lack formal security training. With 98% of organizations reporting increased cyber threats targeting non-IT roles, this course addresses a critical gap by empowering business leaders to recognize risks and support compliance.

Participants engage with Microsoft’s core security tools, including Microsoft Sentinel for threat detection, Entra ID for identity management, Defender for Cloud, and Azure Policy for governance. The hands-on lab environment, delivered through the Azure Portal, enables learners to configure data connectors, create analytics rules, and respond to simulated incidents such as phishing attacks or unauthorized access attempts. A key project involves building a security playbook in Microsoft Sentinel to automate incident response, providing real-world experience in managing alerts and safeguarding data across hybrid environments.

This course directly prepares learners for the SC-730 certification, a credential recognized for validating foundational security skills in non-technical roles. Certified professionals report a 15% increase in career advancement opportunities, reflecting growing employer demand for security-aware business teams. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with official Microsoft courseware and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring access to up-to-date content and expert instruction.
