Managing Identity

With identity as the new perimeter in today's security landscape, it's important to keep up on the latest ways to manage it. Identity--which defines what protocols you're allowed to use, who you're allowed to interact with, and what you're allowed to do--has evolved significantly in the last few years.

In this security course, go beyond the firewall and ports, and learn practical steps and prescriptive guidance on identity management, based on proven, real-world experience from Microsoft Incident Response teams.

Start with a conceptual look at identity, explore Active Directory best practices, find out how to secure Azure Active Directory, and then get hands-on with a combination of videos, text, and hosted labs.

You will create a protective bastion host for an existing domain, configure Privilege Access Management (PAM) and Just in Time Administration (JIT), install JRE, and set up Microsoft Identity Manager. With successful course completion, you will understand the hows and whys of improving the security posture of your environment, and get started implementing and managing identity as part of your cybersecurity defense plan.

Note: These courses will retire in June. Please enroll only if you are able to finish your coursework in time.
