Cloud Incident Response

Course overview

Cloud Incident Response teaches the complete incident response lifecycle for Microsoft 365 environments. Every module produces a capability you can execute during a real incident. You configure the environment that preserves evidence before you need it. You build the playbooks and runbooks that eliminate improvisation under pressure. You run investigations using KQL, Graph API, and PowerShell against the same log sources and evidence tables you'll query during a real compromise. You execute containment through Conditional Access, session revocation, and OAuth grant removal. You handle the regulatory notification, legal coordination, and post-incident improvement that complete the response.

The course follows the incident response lifecycle across six phases: foundations and preparation, detection and investigation, containment, threat-specific response, legal and compliance, and post-incident improvement. Guided walkthroughs in every module put you through end-to-end scenarios. Incident Lab scenarios let you practice investigation queries against synthetic data with known answers.
