Hello and welcome to Managing Security Reports and Alerts in Microsoft 365. My name is Aaron Yoon and together we'll explore how to use the tools in Microsoft 365 to defend ourselves and our company against some of the most common cybersecurity issues we face today. But before we begin, just a little bit about myself. I'm from New York City and built a career as a systems engineer for hedge funds and financial institutions. So, you can imagine how seriously we treated cybersecurity. If at any point you have a question or need support here, just email support@cloudacademy.com.
This course will help you better understand cybersecurity fundamentals and best practices. So, it will provide practical tips to benefit IT administrators in addition to those looking to pass certification exams. We have three main objectives here. First, you'll learn about Secure Score, which is a way of measuring your cybersecurity posture or preparedness. We'll unpack the different components of the Score to help get to our second objective, which is to manage incident responses and investigation, basically what to do when you get an alert. And third, we'll go over how to configure and manage our alerts, as some parts can be automated while others need more hands-on attention. And don't forget to rate the course when you're done. Any and all feedback is welcome and we greatly appreciate it. In the next video, we'll dive right in.
