In this lesson

Prepare for the SC-200 exam (Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate). In this lesson: custom detection rules in Defender XDR (required columns, frequencies, continuous NRT, actions, 150 alerts per run), Sentinel scheduled and near-real-time analytics rules, Microsoft security rules and Fusion in the Defender portal, threat intelligence matching, anomaly rules, and the MITRE ATT&CK page. Includes three original practice questions.

Preview the topics
  • A custom detection must fire within minutes, and its query reads DeviceProcessEvents only, with no joins. Which frequency fits best?
  • A Sentinel rule must alert within about two minutes whenever a break-glass account signs in. Which rule type fits?
  • An anomaly rule records far too many anomalies, and the team wants a higher threshold, while comparing results with the current version. What should they do?
