Description of Microsoft 365 Security Training Course
Securing your Microsoft 365 environment is no longer optional : it is now a strategic issue for any organisation.
That is why the Microsoft 365 Security training course has been designed specifically for IT administrators who want to gain in-depth knowledge of the security mechanisms offered by Microsoft 365.
Throughout the course, you will learn how to protect identities and block threats, as well as how to secure sensitive data and manage your overall security posture.
Thanks to a resolutely practical approach, each topic covered is accompanied by hands-on exercises. These will promote sustainable skills development that can be directly applied in the field.
Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Sessions are guaranteed with a minimum of one participant (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
objectives of Microsoft 365 Security Training Course
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Understand the key principles of cloud security. Know how to apply them effectively in the Microsoft 365 environment.
- Explore and master the Microsoft Defender ecosystem. This includes Identity, Endpoint, and Office components to secure users and devices.
- Implement advanced security strategies: multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and DLP (data loss prevention) policies.
- Use Microsoft Purview and Sentinel tools to investigate and respond to incidents in a structured manner.
- Deploy a security strategy based on the Zero Trust model. This will strengthen the organisation’s posture against threats in the long term.
- Participants will be able to manage the security of their Microsoft 365 environment proactively, consistently and in line with current standards.
Prerequisites of Microsoft 365 Security Training Course
A good understanding of the Microsoft 365 environment — including tenants, users and licences — is recommended.
In addition, prior experience in IT administration or security, for example with Active Directory or identity management, will facilitate the assimilation of concepts.
Furthermore, familiarity with Azure AD and key cloud security concepts is a valuable asset, although not essential.
Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
Target Audience
Microsoft 365 administrators, IT managers, and security consultants.

The advantages of this training course
This training course clearly stands out from competing offerings thanks to several major advantages :
On the one hand, it adopts an approach that is both operational and strategic, not limiting itself to the use of tools, but integrating them into a truly coherent and deployable Zero Trust vision.
Secondly, it places a strong emphasis on response and compliance, which are often overlooked in other training courses, including the use of Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Sentinel to meet regulatory requirements and manage incidents.
Finally, its content is constantly updated to reflect the latest developments in the Microsoft Defender ecosystem, Azure AD and cloud security best practices.
Participants therefore benefit from comprehensive training that is rooted in real-world experience and focused on the current challenges faced by IT administrators.
