Work smarter, not harder. Here's exactly where to focus your study hours.
| Objective Domain | Weight | Difficulty | Our Study Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manage a Security Operations Environment | 20-25% | Easy | Easy marks right out of the gate. Focus heavily on connector setups (Syslog, AMA, CEF) and workspace RBAC. Don't overcomplicate this section—memorize the prerequisites for data sources and move fast. |
| Configure Protections & Detections | 15-20% | Medium | This catches people off-guard. Everyone focuses on SIEM, but Microsoft loves testing specific Defender for Cloud Apps policies, Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules, and Defender for Endpoint onboarding nuances. |
| Manage Incident Response & Automation | 30-35% | Critical | Don't sleep on this section—it makes or breaks your score. You'll see scenario questions on automated attack disruption, Logic Apps playbook triggers, and Unified SOC portal incident management. Know when to isolate a device versus running a playbook! |
| Perform Threat Hunting with KQL | 20-25% | Critical | Hands-on heavy! Expect drag-and-drop code blocks and Hot Area KQL queries. Practice writing multi-operator queries using project-away, summarize count() by, and make_set(). You can't fake your way through the KQL questions. |
