Hey everyone! πŸš€ I'm thrilled to share the highlights of my Cloud Security journey from the past week. Thanks to the fantastic Whizlabs platform and the incredible opportunity provided by Virtually Testing Foundation!

Learning Highlights and Hands-On Labs

πŸ” Learning Highlights:

  • Course Introduction

  • Identities and application access in Azure AD

  • Authentication and Authorization in Azure AD

  • Implement network and host security

  • Implement Azure Resource Management security

πŸ› οΈ Hands-On Labs:

Plan and implement security for private access to Azure resources:

    • Creating a private endpoint using an ARM template

      • Creating a private link service

      • Creating a private link service using an ARM template

      • Creating a private link service using Bicep

      • Creating a private endpoint using Bicep

Plan and implement security for public access to Azure resources:

    • Filter inbound Internet traffic with Azure Firewall policy DNAT

      • Deploy and configure Azure Firewall and policy using the Azure portal

      • Creating a Front Door using an ARM template

      • Creating a Front Door using Bicep

Plan and implement security for storage:

    • Service Endpoints and Securing Storage

Plan, implement, and manage governance for security:

    • Key Rotation in Azure Key Vault

πŸ“– Reflections and Next Steps: In the last week, I immersed myself in Whizlabs' Microsoft Azure Security Technologies (AZ-500) course, covering critical areas such as identities and application access, network and host security, and Azure Resource Management security. Special thanks to Victor Monga for insightful project management guidance and EminΓ© Olausson Fourounjieva for emphasizing the importance of soft skills in our careers.

This week, I'm super excited to add a new layer to my expertise by diving into cloud security engineering. πŸ›‘οΈ Exploring AWS, Azure, and GCP, and understanding key concepts like #OWASPTop10 has been enlightening. As a Cloud Security Engineer, I'm eager to implement robust security measures, and I'll be sharing the details soon.

Stay tuned for a comprehensive blog post with detailed insights and experiences! πŸ“–
