Welcome to Week 1 of the course! In this module, you’ll explore Microsoft Sentinel as a cloud-native SIEM and SOAR solution for monitoring, detecting, and responding to security threats across your organization.
You’ll begin by learning the role of SIEM in security operations and how automation enhances response efficiency through SOAR. Then, you’ll get hands-on with Microsoft Sentinel-setting up data connectors, creating detection rules, and investigating incidents through guided demos.
By the end of the week, you’ll understand how Sentinel empowers proactive defense with real-time insights, automated remediation, and centralized visibility across hybrid and multicloud environments.

This week’s focus is on building secure identity foundations using Microsoft Entra ID. You’ll begin by exploring core identity concepts such as users, roles, and access models (RBAC and ABAC), and then move into authentication strategies like MFA and Conditional Access.
You’ll also dive into identity governance-including provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reviews-to ensure that user access is secure, minimal, and auditable. These lessons provide practical insights into securing access in both cloud-native and hybrid environments.
By the end of the week, you’ll gain the confidence to implement robust identity and access policies using Entra ID to protect your organization’s digital assets.

Welcome to Week 3! In this module, you’ll address one of the most critical areas in cloud security: securing privileged access. You’ll start by understanding the risks of privileged accounts and learn to implement controls like Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Access (JEA) to enforce the principle of least privilege.
You’ll also explore Microsoft’s Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions and discover how to secure secrets with Azure Key Vault. Finally, you’ll learn how to audit privileged access activities and detect anomalous behavior through logging and monitoring tools.
By the end of the week, you’ll know how to design and implement layered defenses to safeguard high-value accounts and sensitive credentials across your cloud environment.
