SC-200 is a 4-day, live instructor-led course that trains your security operations team to defend against cyber threats using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, and Kusto Query Language (KQL). Your team learns to triage incidents, hunt for adversaries, and build automated response workflows — delivered by Microsoft Certified Trainers with hands-on labs in real security environments.

You've invested in Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR, but alerts pile up, incidents go uninvestigated, and your team is firefighting instead of threat hunting. The tools are powerful — but only if your people know how to use them.
Your SOC is drowning in alerts they can't prioritise. Without properly tuned analytics rules and detection logic, every notification looks the same — and the real threats hide in the noise. Your team needs the KQL skills and Sentinel knowledge to separate signal from noise.
When a real incident hits, your team scrambles across multiple consoles, manually correlating data from Defender, Sentinel, and Entra ID. Without a structured investigation workflow and the unified security operations platform, mean time to respond stays unacceptably high.
Your team knows they should be proactively hunting for threats, but they don't have the KQL skills or Sentinel expertise to do it. They're stuck in reactive mode — waiting for alerts instead of finding adversaries before damage is done.
SC-200 is for security professionals who monitor, detect, investigate, and respond to threats across Microsoft environments. Basic security and Azure familiarity is required.
Level up from basic triage to advanced investigation and threat hunting. Learn to use KQL, Sentinel analytics, and Defender XDR to detect, investigate, and respond to threats faster and more accurately.
Build the KQL fluency and Sentinel expertise to proactively hunt for adversaries across your environment. Learn hypothesis-driven hunting techniques and build custom detection rules.
Configure and tune Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Defender for Cloud to work as a unified security operations platform. Build the detection engineering skills that underpin an effective SOC.
Master structured investigation workflows across the Microsoft security stack. Learn to correlate signals from endpoints, identities, email, and cloud apps into a single incident timeline.
Set detection and response standards for your SOC. Gain the depth to evaluate analytics rules, review investigation workflows, and drive continuous improvement in your security operations practice.
Extend your security monitoring to multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Learn how Defender for Cloud and Sentinel work together to detect threats across Azure, AWS, GCP, and on-premises infrastructure.
The SC-200 curriculum follows Microsoft's official 10 learning paths. Your team gets a structured walkthrough of every security operations domain — delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
After four days of hands-on security operations training, your team returns to work ready to detect, investigate, and respond — not just monitor dashboards.
Your team will write detection queries, investigation queries, and hunting queries in KQL — the skill that separates effective SOC analysts from dashboard watchers. They'll know the operators, the tables, and the patterns.
Structured investigation workflows across the unified security operations platform. Your team learns to correlate signals from Defender XDR, Sentinel, and Entra ID into a single incident timeline — cutting mean time to respond.
Move from reactive to proactive security. Your team learns hypothesis-driven hunting using Sentinel, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and advanced KQL techniques that find adversaries before they trigger alerts.
The Security Operations Analyst Associate certification validates your team's ability to detect, investigate, and respond to threats using Microsoft's security platform — recognised across the industry.
Configure Sentinel analytics rules, custom detections, and alert thresholds that surface real threats and suppress false positives. End alert fatigue by building detection logic that your SOC can trust.
Each program includes guided hands-on labs in a live sandbox environment. Your team doesn't just hear about Azure services — they use them, guided by a Microsoft Certified Trainer in real time. Labs remain open for 180 days for sharpening those technical skills.

Everything you need to know about SC-200 Security Operations Analyst training with Bespoke.
SC-200 is a 4-day (approximately 32-hour) live instructor-led course. It's delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer, so your team can attend virtually from anywhere in Australia, New Zealand, or Singapore — or we can deliver onsite at your office.
SC-200 requires a basic understanding of Microsoft 365, Azure security fundamentals, and networking concepts. Experience with KQL is helpful but not required — the course teaches it from the ground up. We recommend AZ-500 or equivalent Azure security knowledge as a foundation.
Certification exam vouchers can be included as part of your team program. We'll discuss the right approach during your discovery call — some teams want everyone to certify, others focus on building operational capability first.
AZ-500 focuses on securing Azure infrastructure — identity, networking, compute, and data protection. SC-200 focuses on security operations — detecting threats, investigating incidents, and hunting for adversaries using Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR. They're complementary certifications that many security teams pursue together.
Yes — KQL is a core component. You'll learn to write detection rules, investigation queries, and hunting queries using KQL. It's the query language that powers Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Defender for Cloud — and it's the most in-demand skill for security operations roles.
Yes. SC-200 covers the unified security operations platform that integrates Microsoft Sentinel with Defender XDR, giving your SOC team a single-pane-of-glass view across endpoints, identities, email, cloud apps, and cloud workloads. This is the future of Microsoft security operations.
