Job description

Overview

We have partnered with a training organisation to deliver training for a healthcare organisation and require a specialist to plan and deliver the sessions.

Role

Role: Trainer

Day rate: £400 - £500 outside ir35

Duration: Approx 10 days. 4 days delivery and 6 days prep

Location: remote

Requirements

• Strong experience with KQL, Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel
• MCT would be preferable but not a must
• Experience of planning delivering training

Details of the topics to be covered

The team actively uses Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel to investigate and remediate security alerts.

The training should explore better utilisation of the tools, including KQL to extract meaningful information, with a focus on:

• Setting up and editing alert rules and actions
• Streamlining alerts to reduce noise
• Automating resolution of expected tasks

Most people attending rate themselves as having a lower understanding of KQL, MS Defender and MS Sentinel. There are one or two in the team who have a better understanding but feel they would benefit from validating the understanding they have, particularly in relation to industry best practice.
