Course Overview

This simulation reflects publicly reported public sector cloud exposure patterns involving improperly secured storage endpoints and unintended access to sensitive government documentation.

Participants move through a structured incident lifecycle emphasizing operational accountability, oversight readiness, and disciplined remediation.

Course Outline

Module 1 — Government Threat Context

• Sensitive data in Azure government workloads

• Storage exposure risks

• Policy and oversight mapping

Module 2 — Exposure Detection (Defender for Cloud)

• Identifying configuration drift

• Reviewing alert severity and attack paths

Module 3 — Investigation (Microsoft Sentinel)

• Correlating alerts and telemetry

• Determining scope and affected assets

Module 4 — Governance Validation (Microsoft Purview)

• Reviewing classification coverage

• Assessing compliance exposure

Module 5 — AI-Assisted Triage (Security Copilot)

• Generating structured summaries

• Preparing oversight-ready reporting

Module 6 — Remediation (Copilot in Azure)

• Correcting configuration weaknesses

• Validating posture improvements

Business Impact & Operational Outcomes

By completing Code Red: Sensitive Government Data Exposure Simulation, participants will be able to:

• Reduce detection and containment time for sensitive public sector data exposure

• Improve coordination between security operations and agency oversight functions

• Validate classification coverage and governance enforcement before audit review

• Strengthen configuration discipline across Azure government workloads

• Translate technical exposure into structured oversight-ready reporting

• Reinforce operational accountability aligned with public sector compliance frameworks such as FISMA

This course prepares teams to respond to cloud misconfiguration incidents with clarity, documentation discipline, and executive-ready communication — strengthening operational resilience across the Microsoft security stack.
