This course is for Azure Security Engineers who are planning to take the associated certification exam, or who are 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 plays an integral role in protecting an organization's data.

To get the most out of this course students should:

• Understand security best practices and industry security requirements such as defense in depth, 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), 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 scripting languages. This course will use PowerShell and the command-line interface (CLI).

To get ready for class, consider the following classes:

• AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
• AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator
