SC-200 Training Course
SC-200 Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Certification
The SC-200 Microsoft Security Operations Analyst course teaches how to find, investigate and shut down threats across an organisation using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Candidates also learn the Kusto Query Language, which is how security analysts write detections, dig through logs and hunt for threats that automated tools miss.
The work of a security operations analyst is to lower risk for the business by dealing with active attacks quickly, improving the way threats are caught, and making sure the right people are told when something is wrong. This course builds those skills with hands on practice, not just theory, so you leave able to do the job and ready to sit the exam.
The course fee includes the official SC-200 exam. You can train in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane classrooms, live online in real time across the rest of Australia, including Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, or in house at your workplace. Choose full time over four days, or part time over four weeks on weeknights or weekends, so it fits around your job.
SC-200 leads to the Microsoft Certified Security Operations Analyst Associate certification, and it suits people already working in or moving into security operations, SOC analyst and threat hunting roles.
- You will get the most out of it if you already have a basic understanding of Microsoft 365, of Microsoft security, compliance and identity products, and of Microsoft Azure services such as Azure SQL Database and storage.
- Some exposure to Windows and to general security concepts also helps.
- If you are newer to Microsoft security, the SC-900 Security, Compliance and Identity Fundamentals course is a good place to start before this one.
Candidates can achieve this certification by passing the following exam(s).
- SC-200 Microsoft Security Operations Analyst
