Loads of Knowledge

The course is dedicated for people who want to learn about Microsoft’s cloud environment monitoring tools and framework. At the beginning, you will be introduced to the management of Azure Active Directory, service auditing and logs, roles related to monitoring threats in the cloud, or the implementation of PIM and PAM services.

The next module is to walk you through the secure score functionality and how to improve it with cloud security configuration best practices, Azure Defender for servers and security standards recommendations.

During the course you will be able to configure an environment with EDR enabled, where we will try to attack endpoints and user identity and see how EDR behaves. Then we will go through security operations best practices and make hunting queries.

The implemented EDR solution and other components of the security stack will be linked within the Microsoft SIEM – Sentinel, which will allow monitoring and implementation of responses to threats.

This course is ideal for:

SOC analysts, Enterprise administrators, infrastructure architects, security professionals, systems engineers, network administrators, IT professionals, security consultants and other people responsible for implementing network and perimeter security.

To attend this training, you should have a good hands-on experience in administering Windows infrastructure and basic around public cloud concept (Office 365, Azure).

Unique exercises:

The exercises are based on O365 and Azure Cloud. This workshop is based on practical knowledge from tons of successful projects, many years of real-world experience and no mercy for misconfigurations or insecure solutions!

Platform and Technical Requirements:

To participate in the course you need a Stable internet connection. For best learning experience we also need you to have a webcam, headphones and a microphone. We will setup a secure Zoom classroom for every day of the course – we will send you a safe link to join the conference by e-mail.

Our students say…

“All of their classes are based on their real world experience with the products, not just the typical Official Curriculum style classes that teach you things for an exam, but that you never use. You’ll find that all of the material you’ll lrarn in the class will be used, at some point, in your security career.”

Jack Perry

“Totally professional, total great stuff, in-depth knowledge and a perfect Learning Atmosphere! I like it! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!”

“I have attended CQURE’s training as someone who is not a security professional, but just an enthusiast, and I feel like I learned a A LOT. The whole training was loaded with information and nice demos of the latest technologies. On top of that — having an opportunity to ask and talk to professionals was priceless.”
