Overview of this book

Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Exam Ref SC-100 is a comprehensive guide that will help cybersecurity professionals design and evaluate the cybersecurity architecture of Microsoft cloud services. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, you’ll have everything you need to pass the SC-100 exam. This book will take you through designing a strategy for a cybersecurity architecture and evaluating the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) of the architecture. This will include cloud-only and hybrid infrastructures, where you’ll learn how to protect using the principles of zero trust, along with evaluating security operations and the overall security posture. To make sure that you are able to take the SC-100 exam with confidence, the last chapter of this book will let you test your knowledge with a mock exam and practice questions. By the end of this book, you’ll have the knowledge you need to plan, design, and evaluate cybersecurity for Microsoft cloud and hybrid infrastructures, and pass the SC-100 exam with flying colors.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the areas of design and evaluation that go into the overall security operations strategy. This included the tools and teams that are assembled for a security operations center (SOC) and the tools that are available from Microsoft to monitor, manage, and respond to threats within the security operations process.

The use of stem, SOAR, and XDR tools for automating responses to threats and hunting for potential threats are the foundation of security operations. Utilizing these tools with a strong security operations workflow for incident response becomes the gauge to evaluate an effective and efficient security operations and incident response team. The cybersecurity architect will work closely with security operations to design and evaluate the tools, techniques, processes, and procedures for incident response, effective tools, and automation.

In the next chapter, you will learn about the design and architecture of an effective identity security...
