Microsoft Cyber Security Architect (SC-100) Training in Australia

This is an advanced, expert-level course. Although not required to attend, students are strongly encouraged to have taken and passed another associate level certification in the security, compliance and identity portfolio (such as AZ-500, SC-200 or SC-300) before attending this class. This course prepares students with the expertise to design and evaluate cybersecurity strategies in the following areas: Zero Trust, Governance Risk Compliance (GRC), security operations (SecOps), and data and applications. Students will also learn how to design and architect solutions using zero trust principles and specify security requirements for cloud infrastructure in different service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).

Accessing your courseware and registering attendance with Microsoft

To access your Official Curriculum (MOC) course materials you will need a Microsoft.com/Learn account. In Learn you will also be able to register your completion of the event and receive your achievement badge. You will be issued with a unique code during your event.

Before attending this course, students must have:

• Advanced experience and knowledge in identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data and securing applications.
• Experience with hybrid and cloud implementations.

Target audience

This course is for experienced cloud security engineers who have taken a previous certification in the security, compliance and identity portfolio. Specifically, students should have advanced experience and knowledge in a wide range of security engineering areas, including identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data, and securing applications. They should also have experience with hybrid and cloud implementations. Beginning students should instead take the course SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals.

• Design a Zero Trust strategy and architecture
• Evaluate Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies
• Design security for infrastructure
• Design a strategy for data and applications

Learning path 1 - Design solutions that align with security best practices and priorities

You learn how to use critical Microsoft security best practices to improve an organizations security posture, apply Zero Trust principles, and minimize risk from emerging attacks. Frameworks discussed include the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), Well-Architected Framework (WAF), and Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA).

Modules

• Introduction to Zero Trust and best practice frameworks
• Design security solutions that align with the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF)
• Design solutions that align with the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA) and Microsoft cloud security benchmark (MCSB)
• Design a resiliency strategy for ransomware and other attacks based on Microsoft Security Best Practices
• Case study: Design solutions that align with security best practices and priorities

Learning path 2 - Design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities
