While Microsoft Azure (now renamed Microsoft Entra) has been around for over 15 years, I still come across many security and identity professionals who need help understanding fundamental concepts of Identity and access management as they pertain to Microsoft Azure. Interestingly, though, I see a common trend where the same professionals are well versed with its on-premise "cousin" Active Directory; maybe it is an age thing :-)Since there is a lot of excitement and activity around "Zero Trust" and Identity is a core aspect of Zero Trust Architecture, it is only natural for people to bring up Microsoft Azure as part of their identity discussion.Mastering Identity and Access Management with Microsoft Azure is a great resource; it will appeal to diverse audiences, from a system administrator looking for a practical hands-on guide to security/identity/cloud architects focused on architecting hybrid or cloud-only identity solutions using Microsoft Azure. Specifically, the Conditional Access and Data Classification chapters are of great interest and practical use.The book is an excellent resource for Identity Management Professionals.

If you took out all the screenshots from this book, I think there would be only 50 pages left with vague instructions that breeze through a light hands-on how-to of the various topics. There's little explanation of the tech and I don't see much learning happening with this format. I was hoping for something more organized than digging through Microsoft's online documentation, but I think the free online info would be the best place to learn this material.

James Fisher May 18, 2020

The lab focus is nice although not sure if it is relativistic to what individuals can actually do from home and on the cheap. Otherwise the content was consumable and relevant. My big pet peeve here is I have noticed with a lot of Packt books and I have many, the quality of the proof reading is way off and there are tons and tons of typos peppered throughout. This I have noticed is a trend with nearly all their books. Typos and poor sentence structure in the sheer volume present in this book and many of their other titles reduces overall credibility of the publisher and the author.
