Welcome to Managing Data Protection and Security Compliance in Azure. My name is Thomas Mitchell, and I'll be teaching you about the data protection and security compliance features within the Microsoft Azure environment. I am an Azure content author at Cloud Academy and I've had over 25 years of IT experience. Several of those with Cloud technologies. If you have any questions feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, or send an email to support@cloudacademy.com.
This course is intended for people who want to become certified Azure architects. This course maps closely to the data protection and security compliance learning objectives of Microsoft's 70-533 exam. To get the most from this course, you should have a general understanding of Microsoft Azure. We will get started by covering the creation and import of encryption keys with Key Vault. And then work through how to prevent and respond to security threats, using the Azure Security Center. After that we'll talk about configuring access to SaaS applications with Single Sign-On, and how to manage access to those applications. We will wrap up by covering the process of configuring federation with public consumer identity providers such as Facebook.
By the end of this course, you should be able to manage encryption keys with Key Vault, manage security in Azure, configure and manage application access, and set up federation with third-party identity providers. We'd love to get your feedback on this course, so please give it a rating when you're finished. If you're ready to learn about some cool Azure functionality and how to use it, let's get started.
