Microsoft Azure Identity

Course Overview

This Microsoft Azure Identity course focuses on the important concepts of Azure AD, such as what makes it different from on-premises AD, differences in managing users and groups, and the implementation of custom domains in Azure AD. Participants will be introduced to concepts such as directories and tenants, as well as Multi-Factor authentication, which adds a critical second security layer for verification of user sign-ins and transactions. The course will also cover how Azure AD can extend an on-premises environment, providing insight into AD hybrid environments and helping participants gain the skills to integrate and manage a cloud and on-premises solution.

[Applications]
After completing this course, learners should be able to apply their knowledge of Microsoft Azure Identity to their own environment. They should be able to use Azure AD to manage users and groups, implement custom domains, and use Multi-Factor authentication to add a second security layer for user sign-ins and transactions. Learners should also be able to integrate and manage a cloud and on-premises solution.
