The audience for this course is Identity and Access Management professional who are planning to take the associated certification exam, or who are performing identity and access administration tasks in their day-to-day job. This course would also be helpful to an engineer that wants to specialize in providing identity and access for Azure-based digital solutions; and plays an integral role in protecting an organization's data.
Before attending this course, students must have:
- Understand security best practices and industry security requirements such as defense in depth, least privileged access, role-based access control, shared responsibility, and zero trust model.
- Be familiar with identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Entra Domain Services, or other authentication providers.
- Have some experience deploying Azure workloads. This course does not cover the basics of Azure administration, instead the course content builds on that knowledge by adding identity and security specific information.
- Have experience with Windows and/or Linux operating systems and minor scripting language experience. This course touches on the use of PowerShell and the CLI.
