Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect – Flexible Training («SC100V»)

• Designing a Zero Trust strategy and architecture
• Evaluating Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies
• Designing security for infrastructure
• Designing a strategy for data and applications

The content of this flexible training is derived from the exam «SC-100: Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect». Start preparing for the course on Microsoft Learn now. During the 3.5h instructor sessions you will work with the official Microsoft course material.

This is an advanced, expert-level course. Although not required to attend, students are strongly encouraged to have taken and passed another associate level certification in the security, compliance and identity portfolio (such as AZ-500, SC-200 or SC-300) before attending this class. This course prepares students with the expertise to design and evaluate cybersecurity strategies in the following areas: Zero Trust, Governance Risk Compliance (GRC), security operations (SecOps), and data and applications. Students will also learn how to design and architect solutions using zero trust principles and specify security requirements for cloud infrastructure in different service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).

1 Design solutions that align with security best practices and priorities
You learn how to use critical Microsoft security best practices to improve an organizations security posture, apply Zero Trust principles, and minimize risk from emerging attacks. Frameworks discussed include the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), Well-Architected Framework (WAF), and Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA).
Lessons

• Introduction to Zero Trust and best practice frameworks
• Design security solutions that align with the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF)
• Design solutions that align with the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA) and Microsoft cloud security benchmark (MCSB)
• Design a resiliency strategy for ransomware and other attacks based on Microsoft Security Best Practices

2 Design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities
You learn how to design solutions for security operations (SecOps), identity & access management, privileged access, and regulatory compliance.
Lessons

• Design solutions for regulatory compliance
• Design solutions for identity and access management
• Design solutions for securing privileged access
• Design solutions for security operations
• Interactive case study: Modernizing identity and data security
• Interactive case study: Modernizing user access control and threat resilience

3 Design security solutions for applications and data
Learn how to design solutions to secure data and applications, including: Microsoft 365, application development, existing application portfolios, data discovery, and classification with Microsoft Purview and data security for Azure workloads.
Lessons

• Design solutions for securing Microsoft 365
• Design solutions for securing applications
• Design solutions for securing an organization's data
• Interactive case study: Securing apps and data

4 Design security solutions for infrastructure
You learn how to design solutions for infrastructure security. These infrastructure solutions include specifying requirements for different cloud models, designing solutions for posture management in hybrid and multicloud environments, and securing endpoints.
Lessons

• Specify requirements for securing SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS services
• Design solutions for security posture management in hybrid and multicloud environments
• Design solutions for securing server and client endpoints
• Design solutions for network security
• Interactive case study: Securing endpoints and infrastructure

This course is for experienced cloud security engineers who have taken a previous certification in the security, compliance and identity portfolio. Specifically, students should have advanced experience and knowledge in a wide range of security engineering areas, including identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data, and securing applications. They should also have experience with hybrid and cloud implementations.

Beginning students should instead take the course SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals.

• Advanced experience and knowledge in identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data and securing applications
• Experience with hybrid and cloud implementations

This flexible training prepares you for:

• Exam: «SC-100: Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect» for the
• Certification: «Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert»

The «flexible» live virtual course is scheduled over a period of 3-4 weeks. During this time, 6-8 instructor-led sessions of 3.5 hours each take place, i.e., the instructor supervises the participants live. All live sessions of a course will take place in the morning from 8:30 am - 12:00pm (CET) or afternoon from 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm (CET). This time is indicated on the respective course as a total of 1-5 days. 

By clicking on «Timetable» when enrolling, you can already see when the live sessions will take place. Of course, these sessions are recorded and therefore available for the class afterwards. 

Everything takes place on one Microsoft Teams channel per class. The participants have access to all sessions and information within the class for the duration of the course.
