8-Hour Live Training

Protect Your Active Directory
With Defender for Identity

Active Directory is the primary target in most breaches. Detect lateral movement and credential theft before attackers reach your critical assets.

Taught by Someone
Who Deploys This in Production

Your trainer has implemented Defender for Identity across enterprise environments - from standalone deployments to complex architectures with ADFS, ADCS, and Entra Connect.

  • Microsoft MVP: Deep expertise in identity security, Azure hybrid-cloud, and Microsoft security solutions since 2010.
  • Production deployments: Implemented Defender for Identity protecting ADDS, ADFS, and ADCS across enterprise environments.
  • Sentinel integration: Built unified identity threat detection with Microsoft Sentinel correlation and automation.
  • Incident response: Hands-on experience managing identity attack investigations using Defender XDR.

Most organizations don't know they're compromised until it's too late.
Defender for Identity gives you the visibility to catch attacks while they're still in progress.

8 hours. One day.
Detect attacks before they reach your assets.
