Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Exam Ref SC-200 Certification Guide

Chapter 1: Preparing for Your Microsoft Exam and SC-200 Objectives

Welcome to Microsoft SC-200 Exam Prep and Beyond and Chapter 1, Preparing for Your Microsoft Exam and SC-200 Objectives. This chapter is dedicated to ensuring that you are ready for the Microsoft SC-200 exam and that you fully understand the objectives, along with how they apply in the real world. It's one thing to pass an exam but a whole other thing to apply exam topics to your day-to-day job. Let's get into it!

In both traditional and modern enterprises, the Microsoft security operations analyst is the key pivot point and collaborator with both individual contributors and enterprise stakeholders. This role in most organizations has one goal in mind – to protect against, secure against, detect, and respond to threats present in an enterprise as expeditiously as possible. They are responsible for reducing organizational risk by rapidly remediating active attacks in the environment, advising on improvements to threat protection practices, and referring violations of organizational policies to appropriate teams and stakeholders. Historically, this level of responsibility came with a lot of tooling, alert fatigue, manual or human interaction in investigations, and so on.

What we hope to make clear is that there has been a massive evolution of security operations for most enterprises. Tooling has changed, and the power of the cloud has added great value to tools that Security Operations Team (SOC) analysts are required to use day to day to successfully deliver in the Microsoft security operations analyst position for enterprises today.

This chapter will cover the following topics to get us started:

  • Preparing for a Microsoft exam
  • Introducing the resources available and accessing Microsoft Learn
  • Creating a Microsoft demo tenant

It is important to note that in November 21 some Microsoft Security Services have been renamed. These are renamed as follows:

  • Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS) is now called Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
  • System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is now called Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM)
  • Azure Sentinel is now called Microsoft Sentinel
  • Azure defender is now Microsoft Defender for Cloud
  • Azure Security Center is now called Microsoft Defender for Cloud
  • Playbook is now called Workflow automation

  • Get ready to overcome real-world challenges as you prepare to take the SC-200 exam

Description

Security in information technology has always been a topic of discussion, one that comes with various backgrounds, tools, responsibilities, education, and change! The SC-200 exam comprises a wide range of topics that introduce Microsoft technologies and general operations for security analysts in enterprises. This book is a comprehensive guide that covers the usefulness and applicability of Microsoft Security Stack in the daily activities of an enterprise security operations analyst. Starting with a quick overview of what it takes to prepare for the exam, you'll understand how to implement the learning in real-world scenarios. You'll learn to use Microsoft's security stack, including Microsoft 365 Defender, and Microsoft Sentinel, to detect, protect, and respond to adversary threats in your enterprise. This book will take you from legacy on-premises SOC and DFIR tools to leveraging all aspects of the M365 Defender suite as a modern replacement in a more effective and efficient way. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to plan, deploy, and operationalize Microsoft's security stack in your enterprise and gained the confidence to pass the SC-200 exam.

Who is this book for?

This book is for security professionals, cloud security engineers, and security analysts who want to learn and explore Microsoft Security Stack. Anyone looking to take the SC-200 exam will also find this guide useful. A basic understanding of Microsoft technologies and security concepts will be beneficial.

Another fantastic certification reference book and Beyond by Packt. The SC-200 certification covers Azure and M365 based security tools and the book hit the mark on every major skill covered. As well as how to create a lab environment to gain some hands on experience where you might have been lacking. I was able to take and pass the SC-200 with the content of this book and the Microsoft Learn modules associated, it is well worth the purchase.
