Azure Security Best Practices

Make your Azure environment as secure as possible.

Working in the cloud poses unique security challenges. The fact that the cloud is accessible through the internet, and that some services are open to the network by default, makes it an attractive target to attackers.

And that means that you have to make sure your cloud environment is secure. Unsecure environment is an easy target for hackers, which can steal your data, crush your servers, and destroy your reputation.

And this is exactly what this course is all about.

In this course we'll learn everything there's to learn about security in Azure. We'll begin from the very basics, the foundations of software security, and go all the way to the most advanced security topics in Azure.

We'll learn about the security services in Azure and see how, and when, to use them.

We'll also learn how to set a security baseline in Azure and make sure all the resources follow it.

Here are some of the topics we'll discuss in this course:

- Basic security principles

- Security challenges in the cloud

- Identity security with Azure AD

- Network security (NSG, Private Endpoints and more)

- KeyVault

- Securing Virtual Machines

- Securing App Services

- Securing Databases

- Firewalls

And lots more.

But that's not all. I wanted to make this course as practical as possible, and therefore we're going to have a lot of hands-on work in Azure.

We're going to deploy virtual machines and configure them for security, we're going to create KeyVault and store our secrets securely in it, We're going to connect our database to an app service using Private Endpoint, and lots more.

And to make this course even better - it has the following two additional elements:

1. Case study, where we're going to begin with a basic, unsecure cloud architecture, and go through all the elements in it and make them secure. You'll be surprised to see the difference between our starting point and the final architecture.

2. Azure Security Handbook, summarizing what we learn in this course. This downloadable handbook is a great go-to-guide for security in Azure, and it will greatly help you when designing your next cloud architecture (the same way it helps me...)

There is no other course like this! This is the most comprehensive, practical and easy-to-follow course about Azure security. And by the end of this course - you'll be a real Azure Security Expert!

What are the prerequisites for this course?

------------------------------------------------------------

Some knowledge of Azure and familiarity with the Azure portal is required for this course.

Note: This is not a beginner course in Azure, and I assume you already know how to work with Azure, create resources in it and work with them.
