1 Day

Audience

Employees of federal, state and local governments; and businesses working with the government.

Prerequisites

Experience in security operations or threat analysis is recommended. Familiarity with Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel is helpful.

Course Description

SC-5006 explores how Microsoft Security Copilot uses generative AI to transform security operations. Students learn how Security Copilot integrates with Microsoft Defender XDR, Sentinel, Entra, Intune, and Purview to accelerate threat detection, incident investigation, and response workflows. Hands-on exercises teach analysts to use Security Copilot for script analysis, threat intelligence summarization, guided incident response, and natural-language security queries. This course is ideal for federal and DoD SOC analysts, incident responders, and security engineers who want to leverage AI to work faster and more accurately.
