Microsoft 365 Virtual Training Day: Secure and Protect Your Organization — Lesson 3: Threat and Information Protection

Learning Objectives

• Use Defender capabilities for email, collaboration, endpoints, identities, and cloud applications
• Apply sensitivity labels, data-loss prevention, retention, and secure sharing
• Investigate alerts, incidents, risky content, and suspicious activity

Detailed Topics

• Use Defender capabilities for email: Use Defender capabilities for email, collaboration, endpoints, identities, and cloud applications
• Apply sensitivity labels: Apply sensitivity labels, data-loss prevention, retention, and secure sharing
• Investigate alerts: Investigate alerts, incidents, risky content, and suspicious activity

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, users, data, dependencies, permissions, risks, and expected result.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, development, administration, analysis, or collaboration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, test results, and other useful evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and explain any corrective action.

Hands-On Activity

Review a security incident and protect sensitive organizational data.

• Document assumptions, prerequisites, and the planned sequence before starting.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal, boundary, and failure behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, reusable notes, and the next improvement priority.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the business or technical decision that must be made.
• Compare valid implementation approaches and their trade-offs.
• Consider security, privacy, accessibility, performance, support, and operational impact.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, data, permissions, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, ownership, user impact, and business continuity.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected design or configuration is documented and follows approved standards.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, accessibility, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Threat and Information Protection in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
