Master Cloud Security on Microsoft AZURE

Security Center unifies security for on-premises and cloud resources, delivers automated assessments, assigns a security score, and provides actionable recommendations to fix misconfigurations and protect hybrid workloads.

Learn to use azure security center to view security scores, follow high-severity recommendations for data storage, and manage policy and compliance with firewall and access controls.

Discover Azure AD as a fully managed identity and access platform, enabling single sign-on, conditional access, and seamless on-premises and SaaS integration for secure cloud access.

Explore how a VPN gateway secures cloud networks by encrypting traffic between on-premises and virtual networks, supporting site-to-site and point-to-site connections in Azure.

Microsoft Azure's DDoS protection guards cloud resources with always-on monitoring, automatic mitigation, adaptive tuning based on performance insights, and web application firewall integration to distinguish legitimate traffic from attacks.

Learn how azure key vault secures cryptographic keys, secrets, and certificates, enabling backup, import of keys, hardware security module integration, and strict access control for apps and services.

Create and configure a key vault with cryptographic keys and access policies, including firewall and network access controls, then monitor logs and manage certificates and secrets.

Explore dedicated hardware security modules in Azure that provide isolated cryptographic key storage with full administrative control, level 3 common criteria compliance, tamper-resistant certifications, and customer-managed keys for secure migration.

Explore Azure application gateways, a scalable application-level load balancer for web traffic that routes requests by attributes and integrates with security center for alerts and recommendations.

In this practical exercise for master cloud security on Azure, learners create an application gateway instance, configure networks, IPs, DNS, and listener settings, and review deployment progress.

Configure and monitor an Azure application gateway in practice, including back-end pools, listeners, WAF integration, routing rules, health probes, and SSL policies.

Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM that analyzes data from users, apps, servers, and devices to detect threats using analytics and AI. It enables automated responses and scalable threat hunting.

Configure Azure Sentinel in premium mode and connect to a Log Analytics workspace. Create a new workspace with a unique name and resource group, and apply storage-based pricing.

Classify and label cloud data to protect documents and emails with automatic or user-guided information protection. Enforce encryption, access controls, and monitoring across Microsoft 365 apps and on-premises servers.
