- [Instructor] As one of the top cloud vendors,
it's important to understand
how security is dealt with when using
the native Microsoft Cloud Services.
As with AWS,
Microsoft has about the same amount of security
services with very similar functions.
It's interesting to see
how they adopt each other's ideas.
Let's review some of the major security
services that Microsoft Cloud Services offer.
First, as your active directory,
which is Microsoft's IAM
or Identity Access Management Solution,
providing single sign-on,
and multi-factor authentication.
Azure is Microsoft Public Cloud.
This works a bit differently
than Amazon Web Services IAM
in that it's focused
on the directory service
where active directory is a popular
on-premise directory service,
as well as in the cloud.
As your security center is a security manager,
and security posture management system,
and threat protection for hybrid cloud workloads,
this provides monitoring,
and control that spans security systems
with Azure.
Azure information protection is a unique service
found in Azure that controls,
and secures email documents,
and sensitive data that you share
outside your organization.
For those who deal
with a great amount of instruction information
that needs to be secured,
this service is worth the look.
Some of you may find that Microsoft
is your cloud provider of choice,
and thus the focus
will be on Microsoft Security Services.
Again, these services will frequently change,
and the best approach is to understand generally
what they do and how they are leveraged.
