AZ-500 Azure Security Technologies

8/10/2019

Earlier this year Microsoft released their first ever Azure security certification and exam, covering all the important aspects of Azure security from identity and access management, to data and app security, platform protection and managing security operations.

​I'm launching my independently developed AZ-500 Azure Security Technologies course - with a mix of hands-on labs, presentations, demos, quizzes and practice exam questions. The course is now available for booking 2 - 5 December 2019 in London with 44CON.

The 4 day course is aimed at students who wish to further their knowledge of Azure security, and those looking to to take and pass the AZ-500 exam, and become a Microsoft Certified Azure Security Engineer associate.

Part 5: counting the cost

Picture
My 44CON Cloud Security and DevSecOps training course this September includes AWS, Azure and GitHub accounts which the students use so they don’t need to create their own. As I described in Part 1, I also decided to build a training platform, so that students can connect to a virtual desktop in the cloud with all the software they need pre-installed.

That way they can come on to the course with any laptop or even tablet which supports the Amazon WorkSpaces client.

I built the supporting infrastructure in AWS using Terraform which you can read about in Part 2 of my blog, and then scripted user setup across all environments as described in Part 3. And as you might expect, I incorporated lots of security features, and wrote about them in Part 4.
 
In this last blog of the series, you’ll hear about a lost USB key, the bill, feedback to Amazon and their response. Click on the "Read More" link below to view.

I built the supporting infrastructure in AWS using Terraform – a great tool for infrastructure as code – see Part 2 for more details and screenshots.

Part 2 - infrastructure as code

The next step after the proof of concept and design was to build it using as much automation as possible – to keep cost low, I wanted to easily destroy everything as soon as a course finished, and to rebuild just before starting the next one.

Here are the slides for my talk "Real-life Cloud Security Issues" which I presented recently at the Photobox meetup "An evening of AWS Security". Many thanks to all at Photobox for a great evening, and to Tash Norris and Toni de la Fuente for their excellent talks - I've already incorporated Toni's open source Prowler tool to the AWS compliance lab in my cloud security course at 44CON.

Wouldn’t it be great if students could turn up with any laptop, or even an iPad, and do the course. And the time spent on the labs would be used to learn about cloud security and DevSecOps, not debugging software installation issues.
​So I started looking at building a training platform which students can use – and as this is a cloud security course, what better place to do this than in the cloud?
