Why take this course

AI and cloud adoption open a new attack surface, and organizations need people who can secure it by design, not after an incident. This Express course is the fastest credible way to build that skill: two focused, hands-on days on preventive security architecture for AI and cloud workloads, on a curated path through Microsoft's official security-engineering content.

The course maps to a named Microsoft certification, so the two days are a head start on a credential employers and clients recognize. You leave able to do the work, with a clear path to the exam, having spent two days instead of six.

Frequently asked questions

Will this get me ready for the Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate certification?

Yes, through the program as a whole. The live two days give you the highest-value, hardest-to-self-teach skills hands-on: identity, Microsoft Foundry, Defender for Cloud, infrastructure and data protection, and remediation across AI and cloud workloads. From there, the ONLC self-study included with the course links directly to the official Microsoft Learn modules and the SC-500 exam guide, so you can finish covering the exam objectives at your own pace. You earn Microsoft Certified: Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate (currently in beta) by passing exam SC-500.

Why take the Express instead of the full-length courses?

The full official path is six days across three courses (SC-500, SC-5009, and AB-6007). The Express distills the most valuable material into two focused, hands-on days and hands you the rest as guided self-study linked to Microsoft Learn. You and your team gain working capability in two days instead of more than a week out of the office, and the instructor time is spent only on the parts that genuinely benefit from a live expert.

Why this course over other cloud security training?

It isn't generic security awareness. It's built on Microsoft's official security-engineering curriculum and maps to a named, in-demand credential, Microsoft Certified: Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate (in beta). And it's preventive and hands-on, focused on securing workloads by design rather than investigating incidents after the fact, so you leave having actually configured the controls.

What will I be able to do after the two days?

Design and implement end-to-end security controls for cloud and AI workloads: identity with Microsoft Entra, Defender for Cloud, infrastructure and Microsoft 365 agent security, data protection, operations, and remediation. Day 1 covers the landscape, identity, Microsoft Foundry, and Defender for Cloud; Day 2 covers infrastructure, Microsoft 365 agents, data protection, operations, and remediation, all with follow-along labs. It's live and instructor-led, attended from any ONLC center or from your home or office.

Do I need a coding or technical background?

Yes, some. You should have Azure and Microsoft 365 security fundamentals and be familiar with Microsoft Entra, Azure resources, and cloud security concepts. Prior Azure AI experience helps but isn't required. This course focuses on preventive architecture rather than SOC investigation.

Can you train our whole team, and is there group pricing?

Yes. We work with MSPs, consultancies, and enterprise teams on group pricing, dedicated dates, and private delivery, and there's real value in training together, since everyone leaves speaking the same language and ready to deliver. Talk to an ONLC Advisor and we'll put together a plan.

What does it cost?

$995 per seat. For bulk or group pricing, contact an ONLC Advisor and we'll send a quote.
