As an Azure Security engineer you learn all the blue team aspects about protecting infrastructure and data. This course shows the red team tools used to compromise the vulnerable parts of Azure and why it matters on what security controls we use.

By David Pesqueira on 8/16/2024
Great course! Wanted to let the creator know there are a bunch of spots that I think were meant to be edited, where you stop and then start the same part over. But, that doesn't take away from all the great information!
