Master Microsoft Sentinel
BlueCyber's Microsoft Sentinel training delivers hands-on proficiency in Azure's cloud-native SIEM. You'll master KQL queries, build custom workbooks, create analytics rules, automate responses with playbooks, and investigate real incidents in a live Sentinel environment.
Training Modules
Comprehensive curriculum from basics to advanced techniques
KQL Mastery
Kusto Query Language
- Query syntax, operators, and functions
- Table joins, aggregations, and time-series analysis
- Advanced parsing (JSON, XML, regex)
- Performance optimization for large datasets
Workbooks
Custom Dashboards
- Build interactive security dashboards
- Visualizations: charts, maps, timelines
- Parameters and filters for dynamic reporting
- Share and export for stakeholders
Analytics Rules
Custom Detection Logic
- Scheduled query rules vs near-real-time
- MITRE ATT&CK mapping and rule templates
- Entity mapping and alert enrichment
- Tuning rules to reduce false positives
Playbooks
Automated Response
- Azure Logic Apps for SOAR workflows
- Automated enrichment: IP reputation, user context
- Response actions: block, isolate, notify
- Integrate with Microsoft Defender, ServiceNow, Slack
Hands-On Scenarios
Practice with real-world incident investigations
Phishing Investigation
User reports suspicious email. Query email logs, identify malicious links, pivot to affected endpoints, and create a workbook for campaign tracking.
Brute Force Detection
Multiple failed logins detected. Build analytics rule to detect credential attacks, enrich with IP geolocation, automate account lockdown playbook.
Lateral Movement Hunt
Investigate suspicious RDP activity. Query authentication logs across multiple hosts, visualize attack path, create detection rule for future attempts.
Data Exfiltration Analysis
Anomalous outbound traffic alert. Correlate firewall logs with user activity, identify compromised account, build timeline workbook for stakeholders.

View Detection PathFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need Azure experience to take this course?
Basic Azure familiarity is helpful but not required. We cover Azure fundamentals relevant to Sentinel including Log Analytics workspaces, resource groups, and RBAC. If you've worked with any SIEM before, you'll pick up the Azure context quickly.
Is this course standalone or part of a role path?
Both! Microsoft Sentinel Training can be taken as a standalone deep-dive for professionals already working with Sentinel, or as part of our SOC Analyst L1, L2, or Detection Engineer role paths. It integrates seamlessly with role-based curriculum.
Will I get hands-on access to Sentinel?
Yes. You'll work in a live Azure Sentinel environment pre-configured with realistic data sources, sample logs, and security events. You'll build real queries, workbooks, analytics rules, and playbooks—not just watch demos.
How does this differ from Microsoft's official Sentinel training?
Microsoft's training focuses on theory and feature walkthroughs. BlueCyber training emphasizes hands-on SOC analyst workflows: how to investigate actual incidents, build detection rules for real threats, and optimize Sentinel for operational efficiency. You'll learn what works in production SOCs.
