Secure Azure With Identity and Governance! Learn to manage access, protect identities, and enforce governance policies across Azure environments.

This course teaches you how to secure Microsoft Azure environments using Microsoft Entra ID—formerly Azure Active Directory—and a suite of governance tools built for the cloud. You'll learn to create and manage users, groups, devices, and administrative units in Azure AD, then extend identity management to hybrid environments using Azure AD Connect. From there, you'll configure multifactor authentication, Conditional Access, and identity protection policies to detect and respond to risky sign-ins and user behaviour. The course also covers privileged access management using Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM), where you'll apply zero-trust principles to replace standing admin access with time-bound, approval-based role elevation. In the governance modules, you'll design management group and subscription hierarchies, assign Azure RBAC roles using least-privilege principles, enforce organizational standards with Azure Policy and initiatives, and protect deployments with resource locks and Azure Blueprints. Throughout the course, hands-on demos, assessments, and scenario-based role-play activities give you practice making real identity and governance decisions in realistic organizational settings. Who this is for: IT professionals, cloud administrators, and security practitioners who work with Azure and want to implement and manage secure identity and governance solutions.
