Security Ninja Training
The Microsoft Security Ninja Training has gained a lot of traction in recent years. So following on from my previous blog post on Resources for Microsoft Security Exams, I thought it would be a great place to start to look at what training is available on the Program and what actually the program does.
What is the Security Ninja Training?
The Security Ninja Training has been developed and put together by the Microsoft Product Teams. The first thing to note it is not designed to be a formal training course, it started off with Azure Sentinel (now Microsoft Sentinel), as a blog post with loads of useful links. Now it has grown and there are numerous amounts of Security Ninja Training available for various products within the Microsoft Security stack.
They are designed to start at the fundamental level and work up to an expert level, with the training materials coming from a variety of sources, such as Product Videos, Webcast Recordings, Docs on Microsoft, GitHub, Interactive Guides, Blogs on Microsoft, Tech Comunity and External. On top of this, there are knowledge checks and finally the ability to get a certificate.
The training and resources are updated regularly to keep up with the product changes which have occurred, ensuring you always have up-to-date resources.
What Training is available and where to find it?
In this section, I am going to attempt to compile a list of the training available with the relevant links. Please note the location may have changed since publishing, but if you come across a link that is no longer correct please drop me a note and I will aim to update it.
