Implementing Microsoft Azure Subscription Security from Pluralsight

This course identifies the resources, tools, and methods needed to maintain the security across your Azure subscriptions.

Shifting to the cloud requires quite a bit of thought and analysis. It's critical to think about how you can govern what your users have the rights to do within your company’s subscriptions. In this course, Implementing Microsoft Azure Subscription Security, you will learn what controls and features you can use to ensure you’re able to control who can deploy those resources, what they can deploy, and what they can do after deployment. First, you will make management groups to better organize and manage your subscription resources. Next, you will create policies to ensure your Azure assets remain in compliance and remediated if not. Finally, you will enforce the practice of least privilege by locking down resources through access control and resource locks. When you’re finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to set guardrails and manage the governance over your entire Azure environment.
