Today marks the official launch of TryHackMe’s Defending Azure Learning Path built from the ground up to solve one of the biggest gaps in cyber security today: real hands-on experience securing Microsoft Azure environments.
As organisations rapidly shift infrastructure to the cloud, SOC teams are expected to secure environments they’ve never trained in and often, never even accessed. The result? Slower detection and response, longer onboarding times, and inconsistent knowledge across the team.
We’re here to change that so you can train like you work!
Why Azure Security Training Matters Right Now
Whether you're a SOC manager building a high-performing team, or a SOC analyst wanting to grow into a cloud security role, one thing is clear:
Cloud knowledge is no longer a nice-to-have it’s the new baseline. Azure tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint, and Entra ID are powerful, but without structured, hands-on training, they remain underutilised. Security teams find themselves stuck with:
- Delayed onboarding and slow ramp-up for new hires
- High alert fatigue and inefficient KQL workflows
- Disjointed internal training with no standardisation
- Limited or zero access to sandboxed Azure environments
- A widening gap between cloud adoption and cloud security readiness
TryHackMe’s Solution: Azure Security, Reimagined
Built for the SOC, Backed by Real Azure
Our new Azure Security Training Path enables teams and individuals to simulate live attack scenarios, investigate alerts, write KQL queries, and respond to threats all without needing enterprise credentials, cloud billing, or complicated setup.
For Teams:
- Faster Onboarding: Structured labs walk analysts through real Sentinel and Defender use cases.
- Standardized Training: Ensure consistent skills across shifts, with workflows built for real SOC environments.
- Risk-Free, Scalable Training: No cloud infrastructure or credits needed, ideal for MSSPs and enterprise SOCs.
- Measurable Impact: Improve MTTD, MTTR, and reduce false positives across the board.
For Individuals:
- Boost Your Career: Learn the tools that matter, with real-world KQL practice and incident triage labs.
- Interview-Ready Skills: Build a portfolio of investigations and detections to stand out in the hiring process.
- Promotion Power: Get job-ready and grow into L2 and incident responder roles with confidence.
