Course Overview
The Microsoft Security Virtual Training Day: Defend Against Threats and Secure Cloud Environments is a free, instructor-led event from Microsoft designed to equip IT professionals with the skills to combat modern cyber threats using integrated cloud security solutions. This intermediate-level course is ideal for security operations analysts, cloud security engineers, and security architects who are responsible for protecting organizational assets across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. While it does not directly align with a single certification exam, the training supports preparation for Microsoft’s SC-200: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst certification, a credential increasingly sought by enterprises adopting Microsoft security ecosystems. According to Microsoft, over 75% of Fortune 100 companies rely on Microsoft Defender and Sentinel for unified threat protection, underscoring the course’s relevance in today’s security landscape.
Participants engage with core Microsoft security tools including Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, gaining hands-on experience through guided labs in the Azure Portal. During the session, learners configure a Microsoft Sentinel workspace, connect real-time logs, create Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries for threat detection, and perform incident investigations. A key hands-on scenario involves simulating and responding to a ransomware attack by leveraging automated extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities across Microsoft’s security suite. These practical exercises are conducted in live, cloud-based environments, allowing students to build detection rules, analyze security alerts, and execute remediation workflows just as they would in production settings.
This training strengthens pathways to earning the SC-200 certification, recognized by industry leaders for validating advanced security operations expertise. Certified professionals report average annual salaries between $95,000 and $120,000, depending on region and experience. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Microsoft courseware, ensuring consistent, high-quality training delivery.
