Hi, and welcome to this Configuring Azure Application and Data Security Course. My name is Hallam Webber and I will be your instructor for this course. This is an intermediate-level course suited to DBAs, system analysts, programmers, or anyone wanting to learn how to make use of the security features available with Microsoft Azure cloud services. It will help to have an understanding of cloud services in general and, more specifically, Microsoft's Azure offering, as well as basic database and networking concepts.
In this scenario, we will look at securing and protecting your applications and data when moving from an on-premise to an Azure environment. Security and protection are broad topics and have different meanings in the context of different types of data and services. The Azure offerings allow you to implement different and more tightly defined security than on-premise, and at the same time free you from many of the basic infrastructure concerns. We will look at configuring security policies to classify, protect, and manage data, how to configure data infrastructure security, how to securely deploy your applications, and what Azure security features are available to your applications. We welcome all comments and feedback, so please feel free to reach out to us at support@cloudacademy.com with any questions or comments. Now let's begin.
