Cloud & AI Security Engineering

What you'll learn

• Engineer Zero Trust identity for both human and AI agent identities
• Threat-model AI workloads, prompts, RAG pipelines and agent tool access
• Run detection, response and evidence-gathering with Defender, Sentinel and Purview
• Produce a portfolio-grade security evidence pack from a real scenario

This is for you if

• You already work in cloud, infrastructure or security and now have AI workloads and agents landing on your estate
• You need to threat-model something whose failure modes aren't in any runbook you own yet
• You want SC-500 exam alignment and a portfolio evidence pack, not just slides

How it's taught

Every session is live and taught personally by Muyiwa Ogunlade, a Microsoft Certified Trainer. Cohorts are capped so there is room for discussion, code review and direct feedback. Recordings are provided for revision — they are a backup, not the delivery method.

Teaching runs Monday to Thursday, 18:30–21:00, and Saturday mornings 09:30–13:00 (UK time), so the programme fits around a full-time job. West Africa Time runs 0–1 hour ahead, which makes the evening sessions workable from Nigeria as well as the UK. See all the ways to train.
