Technology Seminar Series - Defending M365 & Azure

This class is an introduction to M365 and Azure security strategies. However, an understanding of security and cloud concepts is beneficial. A basic working knowledge of PowerShell is helpful but not necessary.

In today’s digital landscape, organizations commonly rely on Azure and Microsoft 365 for critical operations. However, with the increased adoption of these platforms comes a heightened need for robust defense strategies to protect against evolving threats and safeguard sensitive data.

This course will equip IT professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to defend Azure and Microsoft 365 environments effectively.
