- Focuses on protecting sensitive information in Azure, covering:
- Azure Information Protection (AIP)
- Azure SQL security
- Represents 30–35% of the AZ-500 exam content.
- Cloud-based solution for classifying and protecting documents/emails.
- Key features:
- Labels: Can be applied manually or automatically. Examples: "Private", "Secret".
- Protection actions: Encryption, blocking printing, or forwarding.
- Analytics: Tracks usage through Log Analytics.
- Hands-on lab:
- Activate necessary licenses
- Create classification labels
- Configure AIP analytics
- Types of Azure SQL services:
- Azure SQL (PaaS)
- SQL Managed Instance
- SQL on IaaS VMs
- Security approached through multi-layered defense:
- Network Security
- Access Control
- Threat Protection
- Information Protection
- Use Azure SQL firewall and VNet service endpoints.
- Implements a "default deny" policy: only authorized subnets can connect.
- Prefer Azure AD authentication over SQL authentication:
- Supports MFA
- Enables centralized auditing
- Apply principle of least privilege:
- Assign users to specific roles, e.g., "DB data reader"
- Limits access to only what is necessary
- Encryption at rest: Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
- Encryption in transit: TLS
- Encryption in use: Always Encrypted
- Dynamic Data Masking (DDM):
- Obfuscates sensitive data (e.g., email addresses) for non-privileged users
- Data remains unchanged in the database
- Delete resources after exercises to minimize costs:
- Virtual machines
- Network interfaces
- Disks
- Core skill area: Secure data and applications
- Key points to remember:
- Labeling and protecting documents with AIP
- Azure SQL network and role-based access control
- Encryption at rest, in transit, and in use
- Dynamic Data Masking and least privilege principles
