Microsoft Security Fundamentals

Learn the Fundamentals of Information Security for the Windows Operating System

BASED ON THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE MICROSOFT MTA 98-367 CERTIFICATION PREP COURSES ON THE INTERNET!

Welcome to the Microsoft Security Fundamentals course from Alton Hardin, which was designed, based on the Microsoft Technical Associate (MTA) 98-367 Security Fundamentals certification.

This course was originally designed for the Microsoft MTA 98-367 certification and successfully prepared hundreds of my former students to prepare and successfully pass the MTA exam. Microsoft retired all of its MTA certifications on June 30, 2022 to refocus its certifications on the cloud-computing platforms (Azure, M365, etc.).

Because this has been such a successful course, and it provides a lot of value to aspiring and entry-level IT professionals, I’ve updated it to be a non-certification beginner’s Microsoft security fundamentals course.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"I binged-watched your 98-367 course over two days. I made notes as I went along, and booked the exam for this evening. I wrote the exam at 5pm Eastern tonight and passed with a 90%. Thank you so much for the great course! I'm sure there are others who would join with me saying, 'We hope you educate us with more courses'."

-Mike

"I wasn't aware of this course until 2 days before my scheduled exam. I went through and selectively watched topics I was weak on and took most of the quizzes and practice test. The instructor was very professional and spoke very clearly. I supplemented this with the official practice exam software through MeasureUp. In all, I studied a week or so and passed the exam with a score of 811."

-Dave

"Great course! Passed my MTA 98-367 exam on the first try!!!"

-Darius

"I found your course 3 days before my exam. I literally went through all the lectures and the quizzes. I have taken the exam before and failed, this time I was keen on passing. Honestly your lectures really helped put everything together. Very nicely done! I would highly recommend this for anyone taking the MTA Security Fundamental exam. It’s totally worth it. Thank you so much for helping me!"

-Amanda
