Azure Network Security Fundamentals: Build Secure Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud security starts at the network level. Protecting your cloud infrastructure from unauthorized access and modern cyber threats is critical for any cloud professional. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of Azure networking security. You will transition from understanding basic IP routing to implementing robust, multi-layered security architectures that keep your applications safe. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core concepts of Azure Virtual Networks (VNets) and subnets. 2. Configure Network Security Groups (NSGs) and Application Security Groups (ASGs) to control traffic flow. 3. Implement secure remote access using Azure Bastion and VPN Gateways. 4. Protect your workloads from external threats using Azure Firewall and DDoS Protection. 5. Establish private connectivity to Azure services using Private Link and Private Endpoints. 6. Apply zero-trust network security principles to isolate and secure cloud workloads. You will start with essential networking terminology and basic Azure architecture before moving step-by-step through configuration patterns, security rules, and real-world isolation scenarios. This course is designed for beginners, system administrators, and cloud enthusiasts looking to build a strong foundation in Azure security with no prior advanced networking experience.
