Course Overview
The SC-5009: Secure AI Solutions in the Cloud using Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Entra is a specialized Microsoft course designed to equip professionals with the skills to secure AI workloads in cloud environments. This training prepares learners for the Microsoft Applied Skills credential: Secure AI solutions in the cloud, validating hands-on expertise in real-world scenarios. It is ideal for cloud security engineers, platform engineers, and application teams responsible for securing AI services on Azure. With 78% of enterprises adopting AI technologies and cloud security breaches increasing by 45% year-over-year, organizations urgently need professionals who can integrate identity and workload protections into AI deployments using Microsoft’s unified security framework.
Participants will gain practical experience with key Microsoft tools including Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Foundry, Azure Key Vault, Azure RBAC, and the Azure Portal. Through hands-on labs, students configure the AI Workloads plan in Defender for Cloud, apply Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to remediate misconfigurations, and use Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) to detect runtime threats like prompt injection. A core lab scenario involves securing a Microsoft Foundry environment by implementing guardrails, enabling diagnostic logging, isolating networks via Private Link, and applying Conditional Access policies using Microsoft Entra to manage human and workload identities. These exercises simulate real enterprise challenges, such as preventing jailbreak attacks and managing secrets securely across AI components.
This course directly prepares candidates for the Microsoft Applied Skills: Secure AI solutions in the cloud assessment, a lab-based credential recognized by leading employers for its practical validation of technical proficiency. Professionals with this skill set command average salaries between $140,000 and $200,000 annually, reflecting high demand for cloud and AI security expertise.
