Course Overview

The Sophos Taegis XDR Administrator Training is a vendor-authorized course designed for IT professionals responsible for deploying, managing, and optimizing the Sophos Taegis™ XDR platform. While no formal certification exam code is publicly listed, this training prepares administrators for the practical assessment required to earn the Sophos XDR Certified Administrator designation. It is ideal for roles such as Security Operations Center (SOC) Administrators, Cybersecurity Analysts, and IT Security Managers who are tasked with integrating advanced threat detection and response capabilities into enterprise environments. With over 150,000 organizations globally leveraging Sophos solutions, demand for skilled administrators has surged, particularly as businesses adopt extended detection and response (XDR) to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Participants engage with core components of the Sophos Taegis platform, including Live Discover, Threat Graph, Data Lake, XDR Dashboards, Automations, and Taegis Endpoint Agents. The hands-on lab environment simulates a real-world corporate network with Windows endpoints, allowing students to configure integrations, deploy data collectors, manage tenant settings, and build custom detection queries. A key project involves conducting a full threat investigation using Live Discover to trace indicators of compromise across endpoints and networks, followed by remediation through Threat Graph analysis. Labs are conducted in a pre-configured virtual environment accessible via RDP, ensuring learners gain practical experience in configuring and troubleshooting the full Taegis XDR stack under realistic conditions.

This course not only builds technical proficiency but also aligns with industry-recognized credentials, positioning attendees to validate their skills as Sophos XDR Certified Administrators. Professionals with XDR expertise command competitive salaries, with related roles such as Senior Threat Detection Engineers earning between $72,000 and $108,000 annually. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Sophos courseware, and access to expert instructors for one-on-one doubt resolution. Upon completion, participants are equipped to lead XDR deployments, improve incident response times, and advance into senior security operations or architecture roles within enterprise cybersecurity teams.
