In this course, we will explore IAM to help protect organizations against breaches and achieve compliance. We'll see how AD Connect lets you sync and manage cloud and on-premises identities. Always use Least Privilege to control access by leveraging conditional access and MFA. We will see how infrastructure and network design can use the Zero Trust model through tools such as Firewalls, Azure Bastion, and Just in Time. Learn what steps to take to secure data with secured keys. We will dive deep into Security Center to detect and fix top layer security vulnerabilities. Then we will dive deep into the SOAR and SIEM capabilities of Sentinel to identify deep threat detection and protection tool.
