Targeted at roles such as Security Operations Analyst, SOC Analyst, and Threat Hunter, the course addresses growing industry demand—Microsoft Sentinel is now used by over 25,000 organizations globally, reflecting its critical role in modern security operations centers.
Students engage with core Microsoft security technologies including Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Monitor Agent (AMA), Common Event Format (CEF), and Kusto Query Language (KQL). Through hands-on labs in the Azure Portal, learners deploy a Microsoft Sentinel workspace, configure data connectors for Windows hosts and syslog sources, create custom analytics rules, and automate incident response using playbooks. A key lab scenario involves ingesting pre-recorded security data to simulate and respond to real-world attacks, allowing students to practice end-to-end threat detection, investigation, and remediation workflows within a live Azure environment.
This course directly supports preparation for the Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate credential, a globally recognized certification that demonstrates expertise in managing modern security operations using Microsoft’s integrated platform. Professionals with the SC-200 certification earn an average salary of $108,000 annually, with strong job market demand showing over 25,000 active listings. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and optional 1-on-1 training, ensuring learners gain practical, exam-aligned skills. Upon completion, students are positioned to advance into roles such as Security Engineer or Incident Response Analyst, driving organizational resilience in an evolving threat landscape.
