Ramp up your cloud security skills with Azure Active Directory

Microsoft Identity and Access Administrators design, implement, and operate an organization’s identity and access management systems using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Among other responsibilities, they provide secure authentication and authorization access to enterprise applications and self-service management capabilities for all users. And they have to monitor and troubleshoot the identity and access environment to ensure it runs smoothly.

If you’re interested in earning your SC-300 certification, join Razi Rais to prepare. In three short hours, you’ll build a foundation in the key skills and technologies you need to know to pass on your first try.

Not planning to get certified right now? No problem. You’ll still level up skills related to planning and configuring identity and access management solutions based on Microsoft’s Azure platform.

What you’ll learn and how you can apply it

By the end of this live online course, you’ll understand:

  • How to create and manage an Azure AD implementation
  • How to configure users, groups, and external identities
  • How to implement and administer your access management using Azure AD
  • How to use MFA, conditional access, and identity protection to manage your identity solution
  • How to design and implement identity governance for your identity solution using entitlement, access reviews, privileged access, and monitoring Azure AD

And you’ll be able to:

  • Provide secure authentication and authorization access to enterprise applications
  • Identify and run projects to modernize identity solutions, implement hybrid identity solutions, and implement identity governance
  • Design, implement, and operate an organization’s identity and access management systems using Azure AD
