In this course you will learn to:

• Design a Zero Trust strategy and architecture
• Evaluate Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies
• Design security for infrastructure
• Design a strategy for data and applications

The Microsoft cybersecurity architect has subject matter expertise in designing and evolving the cybersecurity strategy to protect an organization’s mission and business processes across all aspects of the enterprise architecture. The cybersecurity architect designs a Zero Trust strategy and architecture, including security strategies for data, applications, access management, identity, and infrastructure. The cybersecurity architect also evaluates Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies. The cybersecurity architect continuously collaborates with leaders and practitioners in IT security, privacy, and other roles across an organization to plan and implement a cybersecurity strategy that meets the business needs of an organization. A candidate for this certification should have advanced experience and knowledge in a wide range of security engineering areas including identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data and securing applications. They should also have experience with hybrid and cloud implementations.

• evaluate security posture by using Secure Scores
• evaluate security posture of cloud workloads
• design security for an Azure Landing Zone
• interpret technical threat intelligence and recommend risk mitigations
• recommend security capabilities or controls to mitigate identified risks

Module 3: Design security for infrastructure

Design a strategy for securing server and client endpoints

NOTE: includes hybrid and multi-cloud

• specify security baselines for server and client endpoints
• specify security requirements for servers, including multiple platforms and operating systems
• specify security requirements for mobile devices and clients, including endpoint protection, hardening, and configuration
• specify requirements to secure Active Directory Domain Services
• design a strategy to manage secrets, keys, and certificates

• specify security requirements for containers
• specify security requirements for container orchestration

Module 4: Design a strategy for data and applications

Specify security requirements for applications

• specify priorities for mitigating threats to applications
• specify a security standard for onboarding a new application
• specify a security strategy for applications and APIs

Design a strategy for securing data

• specify priorities for mitigating threats to data
• design a strategy to identify and protect sensitive data
• specify an encryption standard for data at rest and in motion
