Prerequisites
Students must have knowledge of:
- 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.
- Security protocols such as Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Internet Security Protocol (IPSec), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), disk and data encryption methods.
- 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.
- Windows and Linux operating systems and scripting languages. Course labs may use PowerShell and the CLI.
