SC-5001: Configure SIEM security operations using Microsoft Sentinel
Course Description
The SC-5001: Configure SIEM Security Operations Using Microsoft Sentinel course by Digitalearn Solution is designed to help learners build practical skills in deploying, configuring, and managing Microsoft Sentinel as a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. This course focuses on real-world security operations tasks required to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats across modern cloud and hybrid environments.
Learners begin with an introduction to SIEM and SOC concepts, including log collection, correlation, threat detection, and incident response workflows. The course then provides an in-depth overview of Microsoft Sentinel architecture, workspaces, data ingestion, and pricing considerations.
Participants will learn how to connect data sources such as Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Azure resources, and third-party log sources. The course covers analytics rules, alert creation, incident management, and investigation techniques using Sentinel’s built-in tools.
The training also introduces Kusto Query Language (KQL) fundamentals to help learners analyze logs, create custom queries, and build detection logic. Students will explore workbooks and dashboards for security monitoring and reporting.
Automation and response are key components of this course. Learners will configure automation rules, playbooks, and Logic Apps to streamline incident response and reduce manual effort. The course also covers threat intelligence integration, watchlists, and security best practices for operating a SIEM solution.
Aligned with the Microsoft Applied Skills SC-5001 assessment, this course emphasizes hands-on configuration and operational understanding. It is ideal for SOC analysts, security engineers, and IT professionals who want to gain practical experience with Microsoft Sentinel and validate their skills through Microsoft Applied Skills.
