Use Microsoft 365 Defender to Mitigate Threats
Overview
This course seeks to prepare students for a role as a Microsoft security operations analyst. This role collaborates with organizational stakeholders to secure information technology systems for the organization.
Responsibilities include threat management, monitoring, and response by using a variety of security solutions across their environment. The role primarily investigates, responds to, and hunts for threats using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft 365 Defender, and third-party security products. Since the security operations analyst consumes the operational output of these tools, they are also a critical stakeholder in the configuration and deployment of these technologies.

Welcome in. I'm your host,
Lauren Diehl, and I'll be your
learner advocate as we go
along. But I'm so excited to
welcome Anthony to the show.
Anthony, tell us a little bit
about you.
Sure, Lauren. So I have been
working with Microsoft and
Microsoft Products now for
decades. And I have also been
quite busy with cloud
technologies-- AWS, Google
Cloud Platform, and, of course,
Azure. So it's no surprise that
I've been asked to lead this
class in Defender, Microsoft
Defender. Lauren, this is a
product that I've been working
with since its inception.
And we're going to talk about
it as we go through these
episodes. This is a product
that has changed dramatically
over the last 20 years. So I
can't wait to fill everyone in
on the details. Well, this is
going to be an exciting course
for you to check out. And maybe
if you're watching at home and
you're thinking, is this the
right course for me? Anthony,
tell us about what to expect
and who would be the ideal
person to watch this. Yeah,
we have two primary audiences
for this course. We have those
individuals-- and I would say
this is the majority of our
viewers-- they're going to be
interested in getting all they
can out of Microsoft's Defender
product and suite of products,
actually. And they're probably
here because they're confused
about what Microsoft is doing
lately when it comes to this
Defender product. But then
we'll also have students here
that are interested in
Microsoft certifications.
And yes, everything that Lauren
and I will talk about with you
regarding this topic maps
directly to Microsoft
certification exams. In fact,
there is a security-centric
exam, SC200, that we are using
as the basis for much of what
we'll cover. But please note,
this is not going to be one of
those, like, Kaplan, get your
degree. We're interested in
certification courses. We're
not that interested as much as
we want to make sure you're
armed with Windows Defender and
ready to use it should you
subscribe to it. You know,
Lauren, I just thought of this.
We do have a third type of
student with us here, I bet
you. And that's the student
that really just wants to check
out Windows Defender, Microsoft
Defender, see what is new with
it. Because maybe they're a
decision maker that might be
adopting it.
Well, this is an exciting
course to be part of. And I'll
be asking Anthony all the
questions that you may be
having at home. And so we're
going to get into our first
episodes. And so let's not
waste any more time. Let's jump
in. We'll see you soon.
