Syllabus

Microsoft Defender for Cloud: Securing Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

Welcome to Week 1 of the course! In this module, you’ll explore how to secure complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments using Microsoft Defender for Cloud. You’ll begin by understanding the key challenges of securing distributed cloud infrastructure. Next, you’ll dive into Security Posture Management (SPM) and continuous monitoring strategies. Through demos and practical insights, you’ll see how Microsoft Defender for Cloud enhances visibility, hardens configurations, and integrates with on-premises tools for unified protection. By the end of the week, you’ll be equipped to monitor and improve your cloud security posture across hybrid environments using Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

Microsoft Defender: Security with Server and Endpoints

Welcome to Week 2! This module focuses on protecting critical servers and endpoint devices using Microsoft Defender solutions. You’ll start by understanding the security needs for virtual machines, containers, and user devices. You’ll then explore Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Defender for Servers, and advanced threat protection capabilities. This week also covers patching, scanning, and vulnerability management to improve endpoint resilience. By the end of this module, you’ll be ready to implement robust server and endpoint protection with proactive defense using Microsoft Defender technologies.

Microsoft Cloud Security and Service Models

Welcome to Week 3 of the course! In this module, you’ll learn how to design secure cloud workloads across various service models including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. You’ll explore the shared responsibility model, evaluate key security considerations for each service type, and learn how to define security requirements in cloud service contracts. You’ll also dive into using benchmarks like Defender for Cloud to assess and strengthen your cloud posture. By the end of this week, you’ll understand how to align security strategy with different service models and ensure secure workload deployment in Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Cloud Workload and Microsoft 365 Security

Welcome to Week 4! In this final module, you’ll focus on securing Microsoft 365 and multi-cloud environments using Microsoft Defender capabilities. You’ll explore identity and access controls with Microsoft Entra ID, configure conditional access policies, and apply DLP (Data Loss Prevention) strategies to protect sensitive data. You’ll also implement threat protection against malware and phishing, and use Defender for Cloud Apps for workload protection. By the end of the week, you’ll have the knowledge and tools to secure collaboration platforms and enforce strong access and data protection policies in Microsoft 365.
