What you'll learn

Most organizations own more security controls than they can justify, and when an incident or an audit arrives, nobody can explain the reasoning behind the design. In this course, SC-100: Designing Solutions with Security Best Practices, you'll gain the ability to recommend security architectures that stand up to scrutiny because they rest on Microsoft's published prioritization models rather than on preference. First, you'll explore how to design ransomware resilience, sequencing recovery, privileged access, and prevention in the order Microsoft actually recommends. Next, you'll discover how the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architectures and the Microsoft cloud security benchmark turn broad instincts into named, citable controls, including the controls that apply to AI workloads. Finally, you'll learn how to apply the Cloud Adoption Framework and the Azure Well-Architected Framework to governance, landing zones, and a DevSecOps process. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Microsoft security best practices and frameworks needed to design, evaluate, and defend security architectures across hybrid and multicloud environments.
