Reviews from Participants -
In the beginning I was a little intimidated by the immensity of Microsoft security environment, but getting along with the course it all clicked in my head. The concepts are presented at a very good pace and I like that the information is on point. Segmenting the videos in small chunks is also beneficial for time management. I really appreciate and recommend this course! - Adrian Carbune
Great course. I learned a lot about Defender and Sentinel. I especially liked the module on KQL. IMO, it's the best tutorial on Kusto that I've found on the web. If Anand were to create a course that went in-depth on KQL I would certainly purchase it.
-Bill Jones
Anand has structured the course well, so that anyone, irrespective of their experience in Security, would be able to follow with ease. The course aligns very well with the Certification track. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in understanding Security.

By Abdelrahman Moussa on 4/8/2026
One of the best courses I have ever taken. Thorough, well structured and interactive. Seriously one of the best in the market. It is not built to just help you pass an exam , the instructor genuinely wants you to understand understand the solution and cybersecurity concepts.
By Ghulam Dastagir on 11/11/2025
old dated contents and easy stuffs are explained in harder way. no continuity in sense. I have to find out demo labs from other youtube videos same as in KQL language i have to search another youtube videos. The language used is hard to understand the concept.
