Why learn to configure Microsoft Sentinel (SC-5001) for cybersecurity?
With the increasing number of cyber threats, companies must enhance their ability to detect and respond to cyberattacks. Microsoft Sentinel is a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution that centralizes, analyzes, and automates threat management. This training will teach you how to leverage Microsoft Sentinel to improve your infrastructure security.
The fundamentals of Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel integrates natively with Azure and simplifies security event monitoring. You will learn how to create and manage a Sentinel workspace tailored to your organization’s needs. You will also discover how to configure permissions, optimize log management, and ensure real-time data supervision.
Connecting and analyzing event logs
Proper data management is essential for identifying suspicious behavior. With Microsoft Sentinel’s native connectors, you can integrate logs from various services, such as Microsoft 365 or Azure Log Analytics. This training guides you through adding and managing these data sources to optimize threat collection and analysis.
Advanced threat detection with analytics
Setting up analytical rules is crucial for detecting malicious activity. You will learn how to configure different types of rules and use the Kusto Query Language (KQL) to create advanced analyses. Microsoft Sentinel enables rapid incident identification and alerts security teams efficiently.
Automating incident response
Responsiveness is a key factor in cybersecurity. With Azure Logic Apps, you can automate actions in response to detected threats. This training will show you how to create automation rules to effectively respond to incidents, reduce response times, and improve infrastructure security.
Validating configurations and simulated attack testing
To ensure the effectiveness of your detection and automation rules, it is essential to test your configuration. You will learn how to use simulated attack scenarios to validate your settings and continuously improve your defense strategies.
