Summary

This chapter included complete coverage of the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals exam skills area: Describe Azure identity, access, and security.

In this chapter, you explored the threat landscape and the common threats. You then learned about the concept of Zero Trust and the purpose of the DiD model, and you looked at the security solutions of Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel.

The key takeaway from this chapter is that security is not somebody else’s problem but everybody’s responsibility. Further knowledge beyond the required exam content was provided to prepare you for a real-world, day-to-day Azure-focused role.

In the next chapter, you will look at Azure Cost Management. You will learn about the factors that affect costs by looking at the Azure Pricing Calculator, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculator, Cost Management, and the Billing tool, as well as the purpose of resource tags.
