Course Description
Hello there,
Welcome to the "Azure Cloud Security with Microsoft Azure For Beginners" course
Cloud security on Microsoft Azure, improve your cyber security skills with cloud security inside of Azure Cloud Security
Whether you’re interested in preparing for an Azure exam, integrating Azure services into your existing business analytics practice, or executing machine learning with Azure, Oak Academy has a wide range of approachable courses to help you achieve your goals
What is Microsoft Azure and what is it used for?
Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform Through Azure, organizations can acquire Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service solutions (SaaS) Azure administrators can build, test, deploy, and manage their applications and services through Microsoft Azure, and they can access resources such as virtual computing, analytics, storage, and networking Microsoft Azure's largest competitor is Amazon Web Services, but Azure generally proves beneficial to those operating within a Microsoft ecosystem and using utilities such as Microsoft Office 365 As a cloud computing service, Microsoft Azure makes it easier for organizations to leverage and deploy large amounts of resources on-the-fly — paying only for the resources that are used and needed
What are the certifications I can get with Microsoft Azure?
Those who are interested in Microsoft Azure jobs may want to consider getting Microsoft Azure certifications There are a variety of certifications that can be acquired, including certifications directly from Microsoft Microsoft provides "Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals," "Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate," and "Microsoft Certified: Azure for SAP Workloads Specialty" certifications for those on an Azure career track There are additionally other certifications that you can acquire through organizations that provide boot camps and additional training for those interested in working with Azure These certifications range from entry-level certifications, which can help a professional get their foot in the door, to advanced, expert-level certifications that you can use to progress along a career path in the tech industry
Who uses Azure?
Many popular companies use Azure: eBay, Boeing, Samsung, and BMW are a few In terms of market share, Azure has been growing fast While it doesn't have as much of the market as AWS, it does have much more of the market than Google Cloud When it comes to Azure vs AWS, many companies choose Azure because they are already on a Microsoft architecture and feel that it is both intuitive and reliable Benefits of Azure over AWS include compatibility with NET, robust security offerings, hybrid solutions for on-premise connectivity, and Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement (which provides superior support) However, there are benefits to AWS as well, and there are many professionals who can transition smoothly between both Azure and AWS environments
Cloud computing is now one of the trending technologies and our future will be shaped by cloud computing
The widespread use of cloud services by individuals and the move of many companies' data centers and on-premises servers to the Cloud increases the importance of securing data in the cloud As companies move their IT assets to the public cloud, security will still be one of the main concerns for this transition
In the traditional IT approach, the security of IT assets is the responsibility of the information security or Infrastructure team in the company, but security in the cloud is not only the responsibility of the security team of the companies due to the overlapping roles
With the introduction of Cloud Architecture, the infrastructure team that builds and maintains the servers, as well as the software team that develops the applications on these servers, therefore the DevOps team is equally responsible for cloud security In a cloud shared responsibility model, organizations are still responsible for security in the cloud -- including their data -- while cloud providers are only responsible for the security of the cloud
In this course you’ll learn the fundamentals of cloud computing, as well as how to secure your infrastructure on Microsoft Azure Cloud computing services
This course includes theoretical lessons and hands-on demos to help you gain practical experience in Cloud Security on Microsoft Azure
At the end of the course you will learn;
What is the Cloud?
What are the three models of cloud service?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Platform as a service (PaaS)
Software as a service (SaaS)
What are the differences between:
Public Cloud vs Private Cloud vs Hybrid Cloud?
What are the responsibilities of Cloud Service Providers?

Great content, but I would really much appreciate to be able to download the slides. I do not like that I always need to watch a video to refresh some areas.

A well-crafted tutorial on Azure Cloud security. Useful information is given. The explanation is good. Video and audio quality.
By Pravin Kumar Parmar on 1/24/2022
Video is not as per the mark. Also, It is freezing in between even if there is a strong internet connection. It is really not worth from the content and quality perspective.
By Süleyman Yelekin on 1/9/2022
A very clear and concise explanation. Especially the practical course contents in Chapter 5 are very efficient.
