Course Overview

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a crucial aspect of securing enterprise environments, and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) serves as a powerful cloud-based identity and access management solution. It enables organizations to manage user identities, enforce security policies, and facilitate seamless access to resources across cloud and on-premises environments. Learning Azure AD is essential for IT professionals to enhance security, streamline authentication, and enable secure collaboration across businesses.

This course begins with an introduction to IAM, covering Azure AD features, authentication methods, and user management. It explores Azure AD groups, PowerShell management, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) through hands-on lab activities. The course then delves into identity delegation, API management, Single Sign-On (SSO), managed identities, and key security protocols like OAuth2 and OpenID. It also covers identity security and risk management, focusing on Azure AD Identity Protection, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), password protection, and monitoring strategies for identity security.

By the end of this course, learners will gain practical skills in managing Azure AD, implementing authentication strategies, securing identities, and monitoring access to strengthen enterprise security and compliance.
