Course Overview

The Microsoft Fundamentals of Cybersecurity and Zero Trust course provides a foundational understanding of security, compliance, and identity (SCI) principles across cloud and hybrid environments, specifically aligned with the SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals exam. Designed for business stakeholders, new or existing IT professionals, and students, this course equips learners with essential knowledge to secure modern digital infrastructures using Microsoft’s integrated SCI solutions. It serves key roles such as security analyst, compliance officer, and IT administrator, preparing individuals to implement robust security frameworks in real-world scenarios. With 62% industry demand growth for SC-900 skills, organizations are increasingly adopting Zero Trust strategies, making this expertise critical for today’s cybersecurity landscape.

Learners engage with core Microsoft technologies including Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Firewall, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Key Vault, and Microsoft Purview. The hands-on lab environment, delivered through the Azure Portal, enables students to configure identity and access management policies, implement conditional access rules, and deploy data loss prevention (DLP) strategies. A key project involves building a Zero Trust security model that integrates multifactor authentication, least privileged access, and continuous threat monitoring across identity, endpoints, and data. These practical exercises reinforce the implementation of defense-in-depth and assume-breach methodologies using Microsoft’s unified security ecosystem.

This course prepares candidates for the SC-900 certification, a globally recognized credential validating foundational expertise in Microsoft’s security, compliance, and identity solutions. Professionals with SC-900 certification see an estimated salary premium of $5,000 annually, with roles like information security analyst averaging $129,000 and compliance officers earning up to $193,000 in median total pay. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning journey with 1-on-1 training, Guaranteed-to-Run batches, and official Microsoft courseware, ensuring personalized support and exam readiness.
