Course Overview

This simulation reflects patterns observed in publicly reported manufacturing cloud exposure incidents involving misconfigured storage endpoints exposing intellectual property, engineering data, and production artifacts.

Participants navigate a realistic breach lifecycle from detection through remediation, aligning security operations with business continuity and competitive risk considerations.

How Code Red Builds on Microsoft Certification Training

Code Red is designed to extend and operationalize skills commonly developed through Microsoft security certification learning paths. It does not replace certification training; instead, it connects individual product knowledge into a single, end‑to‑end incident response scenario.

• AZ‑900 — Provides foundational cloud and security concepts that Code Red assumes and builds upon

• AZ‑500 — Reinforces Azure security posture, misconfiguration risk, and remediation reasoning

• SC‑200 — Extends SOC investigation skills by connecting alerts, KQL analysis, and incident timelines

• SC‑401 — Applies information protection and governance concepts to real regulatory decision points

• SC‑5002 (Applied Skills) — Complements tool‑specific scenarios with cross‑tool, cross‑role incident reasoning

Code Red focuses on how these tools and skills are used together during real incidents, rather than how they are configured in isolation.

Post‑Certification Readiness

Code Red is post‑certification readiness training that turns tool‑level knowledge into incident‑ready operational judgment across the Microsoft cloud security workflow.

Course Outline

Module 1 — Manufacturing Threat Context

Module 2 — Exposure Detection (Defender for Cloud)

• Identifying misconfigured storage and access conditions

• Reviewing posture severity and alerts

• Understanding abnormal access indicators

Module 3 — Investigation (Microsoft Sentinel)

• Correlating suspicious access patterns

• Running scope determination queries

• Mapping activity to structured threat techniques

Module 4 — Governance and Risk Impact (Microsoft Purview)

• Validating classification of IP and operational data

• Reviewing policy enforcement and coverage

• Assessing legal and competitive exposure

Module 5 — AI‑Assisted Triage (Security Copilot)

• Generating incident summaries

• Validating remediation approaches

• Preparing executive risk briefings

Module 6 — Remediation (Copilot in Azure)

• Correcting configuration weaknesses

• Re‑validating posture

• Documenting operational safeguards

Business Impact & Operational Outcomes

By completing Code Red: Intellectual Property Exposure Simulation, participants will be able to:

• Reduce time to detect and contain cloud‑based IP exposure incidents

• Improve coordination between security, engineering, and leadership teams

• Assess business and legal impact before escalation decisions

• Strengthen cloud configuration governance to protect sensitive assets

• Translate technical findings into executive‑level risk communication

• Align operational response with business continuity and competitive protection priorities

This course develops structured, business‑aware incident reasoning across Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Purview, Security Copilot, and Copilot in Azure.
