Congratulations! You’ve come to the end of "Microsoft Azure Security Solutions". Let’s review what you’ve learned.
We kicked things off by taking a look at the shared responsibility model. You learned what the shared responsibility model is and how responsibilities are split between Microsoft and the customer.
After covering the shared responsibility model, we moved on to azure security services and technologies. We looked at several general azure security features, including azure security center, azure key vault, and azure monitor logs.
We then moved on to storage security, where you learned about Azure storage service encryption, shared access signatures, storage account keys, and Azure Storage Analytics.
Next, we looked at database security. You learned about Azure SQL firewall rules, Azure SQL Always Encrypted, Transparent Data Encryption, and Azure SQL Database Auditing.
Later on, in the course, we dove into identity and access management. You learned about role-based access control, Azure Active Directory, Azure AD B2B, Azure AD B2C, Azure AD Domain Services, and Azure Multi-Factor Authentication.
We wrapped up with network security options and features.
