Presentation
Organisations moving to Azure and hybrid environments need architects able to design comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. With proliferating cyberthreats and growing compliance requirements, the Microsoft cybersecurity architect role has become one of the most strategic and sought-after positions in cloud security.
This 4-day course prepares you to design cybersecurity solutions aligned with the official SC-100 syllabus. It covers the 4 official domains: designing solutions aligned with security best practices and Zero Trust; designing security operations, identity and compliance solutions with Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Sentinel; designing infrastructure solutions; and designing application and data solutions with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Purview.
By the end of the course, you will be able to design comprehensive cybersecurity architectures for Azure and hybrid environments. You will also be prepared for the official SC-100 exam, included in our offer, to progress towards Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert certification (see the Certification tab for details).
Objectives
By the end of this Microsoft SC-100 course, you will be able to:
- design security architectures aligned with Microsoft best practices, Zero Trust and the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA);
- design security operations, identity and compliance solutions with Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Purview;
- design security solutions for Azure, hybrid and multicloud infrastructure;
- design application and data security solutions with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and DevSecOps best practices;
- translate regulatory requirements into technical controls and assess compliance using the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB);
- prepare for and pass SC-100 to progress towards Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert certification.
