This intermediate Microsoft Defender training prepares you to protect your organization's network endpoints while protecting against malware and credential theft with mastery over Microsoft Defender.
Rather than know a ton about one topic, security operations analysts tend to know a little bit about a lot of different technologies. They tend to be generalists — the folks who get called to help when things go wrong with any number of different technologies. For more and more companies, that number is beginning to include basic security configurations — but lots of security operations analysts aren't trained for that change.
Learning the tools and technologies that help keep your systems and networks safe is a critical part of any security operations analyst's future. This Microsoft Defender training will teach you how to minimize risk by remediating active attacks, improving threat protection practices, and securing IT systems.
For anyone with security operations analysts on their team, this Microsoft training can be used to onboard new security operations analysts, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a Microsoft reference resource.
