Target Audience

Students should have at least one year of hands-on experience securing Azure workloads and experience with security controls for workloads on Azure.

Module 1: Manage Identity and Access
Gone are the days when security focused on a strong perimeter defense to keep malicious hackers out. Anything outside the perimeter was treated as hostile, whereas inside the wall, an organization’s systems were trusted. Today’s security posture is to assume breach and use the Zero Trust model. Security professionals no longer focus on perimeter defense. Modern organizations have to support access to data and services evenly from both inside and outside the corporate firewall. This module will serve as your roadmap as you start building more security into your Azure solutions.

Lessons

  • Configure Azure AD PIM
  • Configure and manage Azure Key Vault
  • Configure Azure AD for Azure workloads
  • Security for an Azure subscription

After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Understand the Zero Trust Model.
  • Configure Azure Active Directory for workloads.
  • Configure Azure AD Privileged Identity Management.
  • Configure Azure tenant security.
  • Configure and manage Key Vault.

Module 2: Implement Platform Protection
We know that security is job one in the cloud and how important it is that you find accurate and timely information about Azure security. One of the best reasons to use Azure for your applications and services is to take advantage of its wide array of security tools and capabilities. These tools and capabilities help make it possible to create secure solutions on the secure Azure platform.

Lessons

  • Understand cloud security

  • Implement platform security
  • Implement subscription security

After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Implement network security.
  • Implement host security.
  • Configure container Security.
  • Implement Azure Resource Manager security.

Module 3: Secure Data and applications
Azure security for data and applications offers a comprehensive solution that helps organizations take full advantage of the promise of cloud applications while maintaining control with improved visibility into activity. It also increases protection of critical data across cloud applications. With tools to help uncover Shadow IT, assess risk, enforce policies, investigate activities and stop threats, organizations can safely move to the cloud while maintaining control of critical data.

Lessons

  • Configure security policies to manage data
  • Configure security for data infrastructure
  • Configure encryption for data at rest
