This course is the foundation for the Microsoft Certificate SC-900 "Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals" across cloud-based and related Microsoft services.

We'll start off with looking at the concepts of Security, Compliance and Identity (SCI). We'll look at security methodologies, security concepts and Microsoft Security and compliance principles.

We'll then look at Microsoft Identity and Access Management Solutions. We'll look at identity principles and concepts, basic identity and identity types, and authentication, access management and identity protection and governance capabilities of Microsoft Entra ID.

Next up is Microsoft Security Solutions. This includes basic security capabilities and security management capabilities of Azure, and also Azure Sentinel, Microsoft 365 Defender, InTune and Microsoft 365.

The final item is Microsoft Compliance Solutions. In this section, we'll largely concentrate on Microsoft Purview compliance (previously known as Microsoft 365 compliance). We'll look at information protection and data lifecycle management capabilities, and inside risk. We'll end with looking at the resource governance capabilities in Azure.

No prior knowledge is required - we'll even see how to get a free Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 and Purview compliance trial!

There are regular quizzes to help you remember the information, so you can be sure that you are learning.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good introductory knowledge of security, compliance, and identity (SCI) across cloud-based and related Microsoft services. And with some practice, you could even go for the official Microsoft certification SC-900 - wouldn't that look good on your CV or resume? And if you are an American college student, you might even get college credit for passing that exam.

So, without any further ado, let's have a look at how you can use the Udemy interface, and then we'll have a look at the objectives for the exam and therefore the syllabus for this course. And if you are an American college student, you might even get college credit for passing that exam.
