- Evidence: produce a triage note with severity rationale and explain the validation result
M 10Hybrid identity, synchronization and federation security
- Explain Hybrid identity, synchronization and federation security using current Microsoft terminology and connect it to the Microsoft Entra ID Security architecture
- Practice: tune a noisy control without removing required visibility for Hybrid identity, synchronization and federation security
- Evidence: produce a tuning record with before-and-after evidence and explain the validation result
M 11Sign-in logs, audit logs and incident investigation
- Explain Sign-in logs, audit logs and incident investigation using current Microsoft terminology and connect it to the Microsoft Entra ID Security architecture
- Practice: troubleshoot a production-style failure using an evidence-first workflow for Sign-in logs, audit logs and incident investigation
- Evidence: produce a troubleshooting runbook entry and explain the validation result
M 12Zero Trust identity capstone
- Explain Zero Trust identity capstone using current Microsoft terminology and connect it to the Microsoft Entra ID Security architecture
- Practice: combine design, validation, operations and handover in the capstone for Zero Trust identity capstone
- Evidence: produce a concise capstone handover and portfolio artifact and explain the validation result
