Applied Azure Security

Applied Azure Security is a hands-on, practical course designed to help IT professionals, cloud engineers, and security architects master the essential skills needed to secure Microsoft Azure environments. The course begins with a strong foundation in Microsoft Entra ID, exploring its core features, user types, and authentication solutions. You’ll learn how to secure access using Entra ID authorization techniques, manage application access controls effectively, and elevate your security posture through Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management, Governance, and Permissions Management.

Building on this identity-centric foundation, the course dives deep into Zero Trust Security principles and the strategic use of Conditional Access policies. You’ll gain practical skills in securing virtual networks—both at the basic and advanced levels—while learning how to protect Azure resources that require both private and public access. Advanced modules cover compute security, storage protection strategies, and best practices for securing Azure SQL databases and Managed Instances.

The course also emphasizes governance for security, ensuring compliance and operational control through policies and blueprints. You’ll explore how to evaluate and enhance your security posture using Microsoft Defender for Cloud and how to detect and respond to threats with its integrated threat protection capabilities. As modern workloads evolve, the course includes focused training on container and Kubernetes security, DevOps security practices, and securing AI-powered applications with GenAI security concepts. To complete your learning journey, you’ll also learn to implement security monitoring and automation solutions for proactive cloud defense.

Whether you’re designing secure cloud architectures or managing day-to-day Azure operations, this course empowers you with applied knowledge to build, manage, and monitor a secure Azure environment with confidence.
