In this course, you’ll start your journey by understanding how to authenticate and authorize resources in Microsoft Entra ID and Azure. Next, you’ll learn how to restrict access to Azure resources using Azure Virtual Networks, Azure Firewall, and Azure network security groups. You’ll also explore how to secure private access to Azure resources. 

Furthermore, you’ll learn how to restrict public access to Azure resources with Azure Application Gateway, Azure WAF, Azure Front Door, and Azure DDoS. Moreover, you’ll also learn how to secure computing, storage, and database resources in Azure.

After completing this course, you can maintain compliance with corporate standards and regulatory requirements across the Azure environment with Azure Policy and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. You’ll also learn how to monitor and analyze metrics and logs with Azure Monitor, Azure Log Analytics, and Azure Sentinel and then automate predefined actions if a threat occurs.
