Course Overview

This advanced practical training course develops the skills required to secure Microsoft Azure environments and protect cloud-based applications, identities, data, networks, and infrastructure. It focuses on applying Azure security technologies to design, implement, monitor, and improve security controls across cloud environments. The programme covers identity and access security, platform protection, network security, data security, security operations, governance, and cloud security management. Participants explore practical approaches for protecting Azure resources, controlling privileged access, securing network communication, protecting data, managing security configurations, and responding to security risks. Through hands-on scenarios and security-focused exercises, participants develop the ability to assess Azure security requirements, configure appropriate controls, identify security weaknesses, strengthen cloud environments, and apply structured security practices aligned with organizational and operational requirements.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyse the security architecture and protection requirements of Microsoft Azure environments.
  • Apply identity and access controls to secure Azure resources and services.
  • Implement appropriate authentication, authorization, and privileged access controls.
  • Configure network security controls for Azure workloads and services.
  • Apply security practices for protecting Azure compute and application environments.
  • Implement data protection and encryption controls for cloud-based information.
  • Evaluate Azure security configurations and identify potential weaknesses.
  • Apply security monitoring and threat detection capabilities within Azure environments.
  • Configure security controls to support secure cloud operations.
  • Analyse security events and respond to potential cloud security incidents.
  • Apply governance and security management principles across Azure environments.
  • Develop an integrated approach to improving the security posture of Azure resources.
