Secure and manage your Azure cloud infrastructure, Office 365, and SaaS-based applications and devices. This book focuses on security in the Azure cloud, covering aspects such as identity protection in Azure AD, network security, storage security, unified security management through Azure Security Center, and many more.

Beginning Security with Microsoft Technologies begins with an introduction to some common security challenges and then discusses options for addressing them. You will learn about Office Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), the importance of device-level security, and about various products such as Device Guard, Intune, Windows Defender, and Credential Guard. As part of this discussion you’ll cover how secure boot can help an enterprise with pre-breach scenarios. Next, you will learn how to set up Office 365 to address phishing and spam, and you will gain an understanding of how to protect your company's Windows devices. Further, you will also work on enterprise-level protection, including how advanced threat analytics aids in protection at the enterprise level. Finally, you’ll see that there are a variety of ways in which you can protect your information. 

After reading this book you will be able to understand the security components involved in your infrastructure and apply methods to implement security solutions.
