A critical‑infrastructure cloud security simulation based on publicly reported storage misconfiguration exposure patterns affecting operational, regulatory, and customer‑impacting energy and utilities data.
Mixed — Security Operations, Compliance, and Executive Leadership
Self‑paced – 60‑Day Access
Coming Soon
Who This Program Is For
Energy and utilities security operations teams
Cloud engineers managing Azure‑hosted critical infrastructure data
SOC analysts monitoring anomalous access to operational and customer datasets
Risk, compliance, and regulatory stakeholders overseeing infrastructure accountability
Executive leadership responsible for service continuity, public trust, and regulatory disclosure
Key Outcomes
Identify exposure risks in Azure storage workloads supporting critical infrastructure and operational data
Interpret and correlate anomalous access signals in Microsoft Sentinel
Validate sensitivity classification and governance coverage using Microsoft Purview
Accelerate investigative reasoning using Security Copilot
Evaluate remediation and posture validation approaches with Copilot in Azure
Communicate structured risk findings aligned to regulatory, operational, and executive oversight expectations
Course Overview
This simulation reflects patterns observed in publicly reported energy and utilities cloud exposure incidents involving misconfigured storage endpoints and excessive permissions exposing critical infrastructure, operational, and customer‑impacting data.
Participants navigate a realistic breach lifecycle from detection through remediation, aligning security operations with regulatory scrutiny, service continuity requirements, and executive accountability for public trust and infrastructure reliability.
Course Outline
Module 1 — Critical Infrastructure Threat Context
Understanding regulated and operational energy and utilities data in Azure
Storage exposure and critical infrastructure data risk

Module 3 — Investigation (Microsoft Sentinel)
Correlating abnormal access and telemetry patterns
Running scope determination queries
Mapping activity to structured threat techniques
Module 4 — Regulatory and Governance Impact (Microsoft Purview)
Validating classification of critical infrastructure and operational data
Reviewing policy coverage and governance gaps
Assessing regulatory, audit, and disclosure implications
Module 5 — AI‑Assisted Triage (Security Copilot)
Generating concise incident summaries
Validating remediation paths and containment logic
Preparing executive and regulatory oversight briefings
Module 6 — Remediation (Copilot in Azure)
Correcting configuration weaknesses
Re‑validating security posture
Documenting operational and governance improvements
Business Impact & Operational Outcomes
By completing Code Red: Critical Infrastructure Data Exposure Simulation, participants will be able to:
Reduce time to detect and contain cloud‑based critical infrastructure data exposure incidents
Improve coordination between security operations, compliance, and executive leadership
Validate regulatory and operational impact before disclosure and escalation decisions
Strengthen cloud governance to prevent repeat exposure of operational and customer‑impacting data
Translate technical findings into structured, oversight‑ready risk communication
Align operational response with regulatory accountability, service continuity, and public trust expectations
This course develops disciplined, risk‑aware incident reasoning across Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Purview, Security Copilot, and Copilot in Azure.
