Every SC-200 boot camp includes a free exam retake, so you can focus on learning without the pressure of a single high-stakes attempt standing between you and certification.
Our hands-on labs put you inside Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Defender for Cloud — building the real-world SOC skills that employers demand and the SC-200 exam tests.
Security operations analysts average around $100,000 to $107,000 in the US. SC-200 validates threat detection in Defender and Sentinel, incident response, and cloud security for the roles SOC teams hire against.
From day one through exam day, our certified instructors provide personalized mentoring to ensure every SC-200 student has the guidance, resources, and support needed to succeed.
A structured path designed for working professionals.
Each day builds on the last—momentum is everything.

Here's
how we answer them.
This boot camp is designed for IT and security professionals with a foundational understanding of Azure and Microsoft 365. Prior experience in a SOC, security operations, or cloud administration role is recommended but not required to attend.
Your enrollment includes 4 days of expert-led instruction, hands-on labs, access to our mobile learning app, an SC-200 exam voucher, and a free exam retake — everything you need to get certified in one week.
The SC-200 is a scenario-based exam that tests practical skills across Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Defender for Cloud. With a passing score of 700 out of 1,000, our intensive boot camp format and hands-on labs are specifically designed to get you there.
Microsoft role-based certifications are valid for one year. Renewal is free and completed through a short online assessment on Microsoft Learn, keeping your skills and credential current without retaking the full exam.
Yes. Passing the SC-200 is one of the accepted pathways to earning the Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert (SC-100), Microsoft’s highest-level security certification for senior architects and security leaders.
A Microsoft Security Operations Analyst monitors, detects, investigates, and responds to cybersecurity threats across an organization’s cloud and hybrid environments using Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Defender for Cloud to reduce risk and protect critical systems.
Security operations analyst roles currently average around $100,000 to $107,000 in the United States, with most falling between roughly $75,000 and $150,000. The curve is steep rather than flat: triage work sits at the lower end, and analysts who move into threat hunting and detection engineering climb quickly, with principal-level security analysts reaching past $200,000. SC-200 is the credential that gets you considered for the Defender and Sentinel roles where that progression happens.
While Security+ covers broad cybersecurity fundamentals, the SC-200 is a hands-on, Microsoft-specific certification focused on active threat hunting, incident response, and cloud security operations — making it the ideal next step for Security+ holders working in Microsoft environments.
Your journey to Microsoft certification requires the right preparation strategy. We’ve gathered expert insights to help guide your path to success.
