This course provides a comprehensive and practical approach to securing modern cloud and hybrid environments using Microsoft security solutions. It focuses on real-world threat protection, cloud security posture management, and advanced detection and response across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.

Learners will gain hands-on understanding of Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Defender for Business, and Defender APIs to automate security workflows and respond to malware, ransomware, and advanced threats. The course also explores why traditional firewalls are no longer sufficient and how modern cloud-native security controls provide deeper visibility and protection.

Key topics include cloud security assessments, Azure Policy for governance and compliance, and securing non-Azure servers using Microsoft monitoring and protection tools. Students will also learn how to detect real-world attacks using MITRE ATT&CK with Microsoft Sentinel, build custom connectors, and enhance SIEM capabilities.

The course provides in-depth coverage of Insider Risk Management using Microsoft Purview, including policy creation, investigation, adaptive protection, and response actions. Additionally, learners will understand Zero Trust architecture, Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA), Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB), and common security antipatterns.

This course is ideal for cloud security engineers, SOC analysts, and security architects seeking practical Microsoft cloud security expertise.
