About Microsoft Sentinel Training and Certification Course
Microsoft Sentinel is Microsoft's cloud-native SIEM and SOAR. It collects security data from Microsoft, multicloud and on-premises sources into a Log Analytics workspace, detects threats with analytics rules, groups alerts into incidents and automates response, all from the Microsoft Defender portal.
The course runs in four cumulative levels across five corporate days: SOC context and a first deployment (Foundation), KQL, built-in detections and triage (Essential), ingestion, correlation, enrichment and tuning (Intermediate), and ASIM detection engineering, threat hunting, SOAR playbooks and enterprise operations (Advanced).
Every day ends with lab evidence you keep, and progression gates check that you are ready for the next level.
