A Complete Hands-On Training in Advanced Security Operations, Automation, and Analytics with Microsoft Sentinel and KQL

What you’ll learn
– Understand Microsoft Sentinel architecture, deployment models, and multi-workspace design for enterprise and MSSP environments.
– Apply log management strategies including ingestion, retention, archival, and restoration for optimized performance and cost efficiency.
– Enrich event data with threat intelligence, watchlists, and contextual data to improve detection and investigation accuracy.
– Implement data transformation and normalization through ASIM (Advanced SIEM Information Model) for cross-source detection.
– Develop advanced Kusto Query Language (KQL) skills for analytics, hunting, and visualization.
– Create custom analytic rules for real-time threat detection and correlation across multiple data sources.
– Automate incident response workflows using SOAR capabilities, Logic Apps, and automation rules.
– Build and customize workbooks, dashboards, and reports for operational visibility and KPI tracking.
– Utilize Jupyter Notebooks and MSTICPy for advanced investigation, data analysis, and visualization.
– Design and deploy use cases and Sentinel content packs tailored to specific attack scenarios and threat models.
– Perform proactive threat hunting using built-in and custom hunting queries aligned with MITRE ATT&CK tactics.
– Investigate and manage incidents end-to-end using Sentinel’s entity behavior, timelines, and correlation views.
– Leverage User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to detect insider threats and anomalous behavior patterns.
– Monitor and maintain Microsoft Sentinel’s operational health, performance, and integration with other Microsoft security solutions.
– Extend Sentinel through APIs, custom connectors, and machine learning models for predictive analytics.

Requirements
– Understanding of SOC processes such as detection, investigation, and incident response.
– Familiarity with security frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and NIST CSF.
– Ability to navigate the Azure portal and manage Azure resources.
– Understanding of Azure Active Directory, subscriptions, and resource groups.
– Knowledge of log collection, correlation, and alerting principles.
– Awareness of how endpoint, identity, and cloud telemetry integrate into Sentinel.
– Familiarity with query logic or data analysis concepts (SQL or log queries).

Description
TheAdvanced SOC Operations with Microsoft Sentinel & KQLcourse is an expert-level program designed to build deep technical and operational expertise in managing and optimizing Microsoft Sentinel within modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs).

This program is also highly recommended for professionals preparing forMicrosoft’s Security Operations Analyst certification (SC-200)and related advanced security credentials such asAZ-500andSC-900. The course content and exercises are structured to reinforce Microsoft’s official learning paths and provide the depth of understanding required to perform effectively in enterprise security operations roles.

Upon completion, learners will be equipped to:

Deploy and manage Microsoft Sentinel at scale across multi-tenant or hybrid environments.

Create and optimize analytic rules, hunting queries, and automation playbooks.

Conduct complex threat investigations and incident response using advanced KQL and integrated analytics.

Leverage threat intelligence, UEBA, and machine learning capabilities for proactive defense.

Maintain and monitor the operational health and efficiency of the Sentinel environment.
