This course is for Azure Security Engineers planning to take the associated certification exam or performing security tasks in their day-to-day job. This course would also be helpful to an engineer that wants to specialize in providing security for Azure-based digital platforms and play an integral role in protecting an organization's data.
Successful learners will have prior knowledge and understanding of the following:
- Security best practices and industry security requirements include depth defense, least privileged access, role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, shared responsibility, and zero trust model.
- Be familiar with security protocols such as Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Internet Security Protocol (IPSec), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and disk and data encryption methods.
- Have some experience deploying Azure workloads. This course does not cover the basics of Azure administration. Instead, the course content builds on that knowledge by adding security specific information.
- Have experience with Windows and Linux operating systems and scsecurity-specific. Course labs may use PowerShell and the CLI.
