Machine Learning Engineer
The content of this intensive training course is based on the "AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies" exam. During the intensive training sessions with our instructors, you will work with the official Microsoft course materials.
Module 1: Managing Identity and Access
Gone are the days when security focused on strong perimeter defenses to keep malicious hackers out. Anything outside the perimeter was treated as hostile, while systems within the walls were trusted. Today’s security approach assumes a breach and adopts the zero-trust model. Security experts no longer focus on defending the perimeter. Modern organizations must equally support access to data and services both inside and outside the corporate firewall. This module will serve as a roadmap as you begin to build more security into your Azure solutions.
Lessons:
- Configure Azure AD PIM
- Configure and manage Azure Key Vault
- Configuring Azure AD for Azure workloads
- Security for an Azure subscription
Module 2: Implementing Platform Protection
Cloud security is the top priority, and it’s important to find accurate and up-to-date information about Azure security. One of the best reasons to use Azure for your applications and services is to take advantage of Azure’s wide range of security tools and capabilities. These tools and capabilities enable you to build secure solutions on the secure Azure platform.
Lessons:
- Understanding cloud security
- Azure networking
- Securing the network
- Implementing host security
- Implementing platform security
- Implementing subscription security
Module 3: Backing Up Data and Applications
Azure security for data and applications offers a comprehensive solution that helps organizations fully leverage the benefits of cloud applications while maintaining control through enhanced visibility into activities. It also enhances the protection of critical data in cloud applications. With tools that help uncover shadow IT, assess risks, enforce policies, investigate activities, and stop threats, organizations can safely migrate to the cloud while maintaining control over critical data.
Lessons:
- Configuring security policies for data management
- Configuring security for the data infrastructure
- Configuring encryption for data at rest
- Understanding application security
- Implementing security for the application lifecycle
- Secure applications
Module 4: Manage Security Operations
Azure provides security mechanisms to assist administrators who manage Azure cloud services and virtual machines. These mechanisms include: authentication and role-based access control, monitoring, logging, and auditing, certificates and encrypted communication, and a web management portal.
Lessons:
- Configuring security services
- Configuring security policies with Azure Security Center
- Manage security alerts
- Reacting to the rectification of security problems
- Creating security baselines
Please note that there is no exam at the end of this course.
Requirements:
- Understanding of security best practices and industry security requirements, e.g. defense in depth, least privilege access, role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, shared responsibility and zero trust model
- Familiarity with security protocols such as VPN (Virtual Private Networks), IPsec (Internet Security Protocol), SSL (Secure Socket Layer), data carrier and data encryption methods
- Experience with deploying Azure workloads. This course does not cover the basics of Azure management, but the course content builds on this knowledge and provides further security-specific information.
- Experience with Windows and Linux operating systems and scripting languages. Course labs can use PowerShell and the CLI.
- Description of specialized data classifications on Azure
- Identification of Azure data protection mechanisms
- Implementation of Azure data encryption procedures
- Securing Internet protocols and their implementation on Azure
- Description of the security services and features of Azure
This course consists of training training and is led by a trainer who supervises the participants live. Theory and practice are taught with live demonstrations and practical exercises. The video conferencing software Zoom is used.
This intensive training prepares you for:
Exam: " AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies " for the
certification: " Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate "
attendees with at least one year of hands-on experience securing Azure workloads and experience with security controls for workloads on Azure who want to expand their knowledge of Azure's security features and capabilities.
