This course provides IT Security Professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement security controls, maintain an organizations security posture, and identify and remediate security vulnerabilities. This course includes security for identity and access, platform protection, data and applications, and security operations.
AUDIENCE
Prerequisites
Successful learners will have prior knowledge and understanding of:
- Security best practices and industry security requirements such as defense indepth, 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), InternetSecurity Protocol (IPSec), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), disk and data encryption methods.
- Have some experience deploying Azure workloads. This course does not cover the basicsof Azure administration, instead the course content builds on that knowledge by addingsecurity specific information.
- Have experience with Windows and Linux operating systems and scripting languages.Course labsmay use PowerShell and the CLI.
