Security teams today are defending across identities, endpoints, email, cloud workloads, and now AI environments too. Microsoft just launched a hands-on challenge to help you build exactly those skills.
The Microsoft Defender Challenge is a free, curated learning experience running July 20 – August 21, 2026, focused on real-world skills across:
- Microsoft Defender XDR — the latest detection capabilities and unified incident response across identities, endpoints, email, and cloud apps
- Microsoft Sentinel — workspace architecture, data connectors, analytics rules, and building a mature SIEM/SOAR practice
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud — investigating, triaging, and responding to alerts across cloud and AI workloads
Who it's for: SOC analysts, security engineers, cloud security practitioners, and any IT pro looking to level up their security chops.
Complete the challenge on Microsoft Learn and submit the official sweepstakes entry form by August 21, 2026 for a chance to win one of 500 certification exam vouchers — 50% off toward:
