Marshall Copeland is a cloud security architect focused on helping customers shift left with cloud security defenses in Azure public cloud using cloud-native services and third-party network security appliances. He uses Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with ARM templates or Terraform HCL to build cloud infrastructure and disaster recovery solutions. Marshall's Azure security design skills include Azure Sentinel, Security Center, Policy, Firewall and ACL networking, and a few open-source solutions such as ELK stack, Wireshark, and Snort. He partners with security operations to guide cloud investigations to enhance blue team hunting efficiencies.

Matthew Jacobs is a system engineer focused on cloud architecture technologies needed to support identity management, security, and collaboration tool sets for small and medium businesses, including enterprise organizations. His work has focused on digital transformation, including on-premise only, hybrid cloud networks, and complete public cloud-only deployment. Matthew brings a hands-on cloud architecture approach for Identity Management (IAM) and enhanced engineering to enable business agility that secures and supports a global remote work force. His current work in the Nashville, Tennessee area includes Fortune 500 media, entertainment, and hospitality companies, and his work history extends into public cloud federal compliance requirements for the banking and healthcare industries.

Part I: Zero Trust Cloud Security 

Chapter 1. Reduce Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities from the Identity Layer  

In this chapter you learn the foundation of Azure active directory and quickly expand on the different capabilities for custom domains to manage Azure Subscriptions and why Identity is the security perimeter in the cloud. Azure directly supports IAM (Identity Access Management), for any size organization as the IT cloud supports secure connection from any device and any location. In this chapter you gain insight into IAM challenges for blue team defense of cyber security attacks.

·         Azure cloud relations to: Azure Tenant, Azure Subscription, Azure AD

o   Azure tenant security

o   Azure subscription security

o   Azure API security

o   Azure resource locks

·         Managing Azure Active Directory: Users, and Groups

·         Azure Active Directory OAuth, SAML, AD Connect

·         Security measures:

o   Configure Multi-Factor Authentication

o   Conditional Access Policies

·         Configure Azure AD Privileged Identity Management

 

Chapter 2 Azure Network Security Configuration  

Software defined network is titled VNet in Azure and introduces new security challenges for cloud security architect when it comes to isolate data and still allow secure communication from valid users, applications and systems. In this chapter you learn security supported networking in Azure with the guides to present TCP/IP, protocol communication ports and what Azure security services are available to learn about notable tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) that can be exploited by Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). You learn VNet recommendations to mitigate misconfigurations and provide detection on Incidents of Compromise (IOC) like forensic evidence of potential intrusions. 

·         Virtual Networks, VNets, Network Peering

·         NSG, Port vulnerability, OSI / TCP Model

·         Azure Firewall Configurations

·         Azure Front Door Service

·         Application Security Groups
