Microsoft Cyber Genius: The Future of AI-Powered Security

Cyber resilience is no longer owned by the security team alone. When an incident happens, it reaches into engineering, data, operations, compliance and the boardroom — and the organisations that recover fastest are the ones whose wider technical and business teams already know how the response works.

Microsoft Cyber Genius is a scenario-based learning experience built to give teams that practical grounding. It is free, digital, and designed so people can learn, connect and earn recognition for real skills — including Microsoft Applied Skills credentials.

Three sessions run on 30 September, and you can join one or all three:

• The Future of AI-Powered Security, 09:00–10:00 GMT+1 — leadership perspectives on the current threat landscape, plus lessons from a real customer navigating a major cyber crisis. Open to any role.
• Inside the Breach, 10:00–11:00 GMT+1 — follow a realistic incident across identities, devices and cloud, and see how Microsoft Defender XDR supports detection, investigation and response. Built for people newer to Microsoft security tools.
• Beyond Trust Boundaries, 13:00–14:00 GMT+1 — protect sensitive information and support secure AI adoption with Microsoft Purview, covering sensitivity labels, Data Loss Prevention and governance.

The full experience is three hours and it is hands-on. If that is too much for one day, the opening session alone takes an hour and gives your team the context that makes the rest useful.

To get the most from the scenario sessions, complete the short pre-learning journey beforehand.
