Course Overview

The Microsoft Security for IT Admins/Developers course is a foundational training program designed for IT administrators, developers, and security professionals seeking to build expertise in Microsoft’s security, compliance, and identity (SCI) solutions. This course prepares learners for the SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals certification exam, serving roles such as Security Administrator, Identity and Access Management Specialist, and Compliance Analyst. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies adopting Microsoft’s cloud security tools, this course delivers in-demand knowledge aligned with real-world enterprise needs. It introduces core concepts like Zero Trust, shared responsibility, and identity as the new perimeter, equipping professionals to secure modern digital environments.

Students engage with key Microsoft technologies including Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Firewall, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Purview, and the Microsoft Defender portal. Through hands-on labs in the Azure Portal and Microsoft 365 admin environments, learners configure multifactor authentication, implement Conditional Access policies, and manage identity governance using Privileged Identity Management. A key lab scenario involves building a secure cloud posture using Microsoft Defender for Cloud, where students enable Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), assess regulatory compliance against benchmarks like NIST, and remediate security recommendations. These practical exercises simulate real-world tasks such as securing hybrid workloads, classifying sensitive data with sensitivity labels, and investigating threats using SIEM and SOAR capabilities in Microsoft Sentinel.

This course directly prepares candidates for the globally recognized SC-900 certification, a credential increasingly required by employers adopting Microsoft’s security ecosystem. Certified professionals report career advancements such as transitioning into dedicated security roles or qualifying for cloud security projects, with entry-level salaries ranging from $72,000 to $92,000 depending on experience and region. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and 1-on-1 instructor support, ensuring learners gain both exam readiness and practical mastery.
