Key benefits

  • Understand threat protection with Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Defender for Cloud security management
  • Learn about security capabilities in Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Microsoft Intune

Description

Cloud technologies have made building a defense-in-depth security strategy of paramount importance. Without proper planning and discipline in deploying the security posture across Microsoft 365 and Azure, you are compromising your infrastructure and data. Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals is a comprehensive guide that covers all of the exam objectives for the SC-900 exam while walking you through the core security services available for Microsoft 365 and Azure. This book starts by simplifying the concepts of security, compliance, and identity before helping you get to grips with Azure Active Directory, covering the capabilities of Microsoft’s identity and access management (IAM) solutions. You'll then advance to compliance center, information protection, and governance in Microsoft 365. You'll find out all you need to know about the services available within Azure and Microsoft 365 for building a defense-in-depth security posture, and finally become familiar with Microsoft's compliance monitoring capabilities. By the end of the book, you'll have gained the knowledge you need to take the SC-900 certification exam and implement solutions in real-life scenarios.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cloud security engineers, Microsoft 365 administrators, Azure administrators, and anyone in between who wants to get up to speed with the security, compliance, and identity fundamentals to achieve the SC-900 certification. A basic understanding of the fundamental services within Microsoft 365 and Azure will be helpful but not essential.

What you will learn

  • Become well-versed with security, compliance, and identity principles
  • Explore the authentication, access control, and identity management capabilities of Azure Active Directory
  • Understand the identity protection and governance aspects of Azure and Microsoft 365
  • Get to grips with the basic security capabilities for networks, VMs, and data
  • Discover security management through Microsoft Defender for Cloud
  • Work with Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft 365 Defender
  • Deal with compliance, governance, and risk in Microsoft 365 and Azure

I liked the brief overview of how security has changed in the foreword: it was informative but brief. From there the author takes the reader on a journey from prep to end; he does not presume that you already know security, so the first several sections are dedicated to resources and explanations of resources, methodologies, and principles.Sections 1 and 2 cover the contents and resources for the exam, and introduce fundamental principles underlying the exam, such as subscriptions and an exam format, on to security methodologies, key security concepts, and Microsoft security and compliance principles. All the chapters in Section 3 cover identity protection, a huge issue in today's security world. Identity services and principles, authentication, access management, identity protection, and governance capabilities of Azure are covered here.In Section 4 we apply the learning to Microsoft 365 and Azure, including how to set up the platforms against attacks and install encryption. This section covers networks, DDOS protection, Azure firewalls, remote management and encryption, security management in Azure, threat protection with Microsoft Defender, and what to use Microsoft Sentinel for and how to run it.Section 5 has chapters on regulatory compliance, information protection, governance, risk, and auditing in Microsoft 365 and Azure. This section is all about compliance monitoring, including data handling such as classification, sensitivity, records management, retention, insider risk and how to audit using Microsoft 365. Last in this section we learn about resource governance in Azure.At the end of the book is a final assessment and mock exam, which is invaluable to certification seekers.

I'd been looking for a book to learn about security, I didn't expect a to get a clear concept of Principle of least privilege, usually it is something we don't really care as Cloud admins and provide the whole set of permissions and access, now with this on-mind I will use it in my set of applications.I truly recommend this books for those looking to take the certification and also want to learn about security.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
