Equal-depth dual platform syllabus: Splunk Enterprise + ES + SOAR and Microsoft Sentinel + KQL + SC-200 workflow — built for SOC L2 / L3 engineers.
📚 28 Modules (14 + 14)
⏱ ~70–80 Hours
🧪 Splunk + Sentinel Labs
🏆 SPLK + SC-200 Aligned
Dual SIEM Overview
Why both on one syllabus: large enterprises still run Splunk; Microsoft shops run Sentinel. SOC hiring increasingly expects analysts who can work both. This page now gives equal module depth for each platform (14 + 14). For the Microsoft-only SC-200 deep path (Defender XDR + Copilot), also see microsoft-sentinel.

FAQ
QIs this Splunk admin and Enterprise Security, or the SOC combo?
This Splunk SIEM page is the dedicated track: 80 hours on SPL, Enterprise Security and SOAR, with a Microsoft Sentinel path, aligned to SPLK-1003. The SOC Analyst course is the separate Splunk-plus-Sentinel analyst combo at ₹35,000. Labs are a Splunk lab or a recorded admin walkthrough. Confirm write access for the batch. Compare the admin depth and the fee with WebAsha and InfosecTrain before you enrol. WhatsApp +91 92772 29456 or support@techclick.in.
Q 1Is this only Splunk or also Sentinel?
Both. Track A is full Splunk (14 modules). Track B is equal-depth Microsoft Sentinel (14 modules). The page was expanded so Sentinel is no longer only a short FAQ mention.
Q 2Hands-on labs?
Yes — Splunk Enterprise free trial / sample data for SPL and ES-style work, plus Sentinel / KQL practice for rules, workbooks and hunting queries.
Q 3Splunk vs Sentinel — which should I learn first?
If your target employer is a Microsoft shop, start with Track B (KQL). If you are joining a large enterprise SIEM team, start with Track A (SPL). Most SOC job descriptions benefit from both — that is why this syllabus keeps them equal.
Q 4Cert path?
Splunk: SPLK-1003 (Admin) and SPLK-3001 (ES). Microsoft: SC-200 Security Operations Analyst. S14 and M14 map both paths. Deeper SC-200/Defender modules: microsoft-sentinel.
Q 5Duration?
About 70–80 hours across both tracks (roughly 5–8 weeks depending on batch pace). Single-platform focus can be scheduled if needed — ask on WhatsApp.
Q 6Placement help?
CV review and interview prep for SOC L2 / L3. Outcomes depend on effort, background and market — we do not guarantee a job.

Q 8How does Techclick teach Correlation search vs KQL analytics rule in Splunk SIEM & Microsoft Sentinel?
We walk the production path: what object makes the decision, which log proves it, what usually breaks, and how you verify the fix. For Splunk SIEM & Microsoft Sentinel the signature topic is Correlation search vs KQL analytics rule. That is the difference between a click-tour and an L3 answer. https://ai.techclick.in/syllabus/splunk-siem
Q 9How long is the Splunk SIEM & Microsoft Sentinel live batch?
Live batch — confirm dates. All sessions are recorded in the student portal. Exact start date is confirmed on WhatsApp because batches fill and shift.
Q 10Where can I practice Splunk SIEM & Microsoft Sentinel interview questions for free?
Free lessons: https://ai.techclick.in/blogs · interview Q&A: https://ai.techclick.in/splunk-interview-hub · quizzes: https://exam.techclick.in. Paid students also get a role-specific Q&A bank and mock interviews. Start free, then join the live batch if you want labs with a trainer.
