Expert-led training will teach you to implement and manage secure identity solutions using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and hybrid identities.

You’ll learn to configure passwordless and multifactor sign-in, apply conditional access policies, and use tools like PIM to support a zero-trust strategy. You’ll also manage app access with registrations, service principals, and entitlement controls. Bring on-prem and cloud together using Azure AD Connect and Active Directory Federation Services, and monitor and protect identities using Defender for Cloud Apps, Sentinel, Identity Protection and Identity Secure Score.
