Prepare for Microsoft Exam SC-900 and demonstrate your real-world knowledge of the fundamentals of security, compliance, and identity (SCI) across cloud-based and related Microsoft services. Designed for business stakeholders, new and existing IT professionals, functional consultants, and students, this Exam Ref focuses on the critical thinking and decision-making acumen needed for success at the Microsoft Certified: Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals level. Building a foundational knowledge of key principles applicable to security, compliance, and identity is imperative to any professional who needs to work with Microsoft solutions that target each one of those domains. Some principles will directly correlate with all three domains; some will be more peculiar to each domain. Zero Trust is a great example of a methodology that should extend throughout the entire digital estate of your enterprise and serve as an integrated security philosophy and end-to-end strategy. When designing a security solution using Microsoft technologies, it is important to consider the entire portfolio of options to have a complete approach for resources in Azure, Microsoft 365, and on-premises.

KQL is a powerful query language that helps analyze a large volume of structured, semi structured, and unstructured data. KQL has inbuilt operators and functions that lets a user analyze data to find trends, patterns, anomalies, create forecasting, and machine learning. KQL underpins a variety of Microsoft cloud products - Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Data Explorer, Microsoft 365 Advanced Hunting, Azure Resource Graph, Azure Monitor and more. KQL has similarities with SQL language as well. KQL allows to write data queries and control commands for the database and the database tables. The Kusto Query Language, or KQL, is one of those foundational technologies for IT professionals, security team members, and really anyone who is leveraging the Microsoft Azure platform. If you want to turn data into insights and action, you’ll need to use KQL. What do we mean by that? There is a tremendous amount of data being generated by your Azure resources. Where KQL Is Used? KQL is used everywhere in Azure! More than 150 services—including applications, IaaS workloads, infrastructure, and the Azure platform itself—can send their data to Azure Monitor. And we can query all of it with KQL.

This book is about the Zero Trust Framework. Essentially, this is a methodology where the IT/Network Infrastructure of a business is segmented into smaller islands, each having its own lines of defense. This is primarily achieved through the use of Multifactor Authentication (MFA), where at least three more authentication layers are used, preferably being different from one another. Another key aspect of the Zero Trust Framework is known as Privileged Access Management (PAM). This is an area of Cybersecurity where the protection of superuser accounts, rights, and privileges must be protected at all costs from Cyberattackers. In this regard, this is where the Zero Trust Framework and PAM intertwine, especially in a Cloud-based platform, such as Microsoft Azure. However, as it has been reviewed in one of our previous books, the use of passwords is now becoming a nemesis, not only for individuals but for businesses as well. It is hoped that by combining the Zero Trust Framework with PAM, password use can be eradicated altogether, thus giving rise to a passwordless society.

How can you make sense of the complex IoT landscape? With dozens of components ranging from devices to metadata about the devices, it's easy to get lost among the possibilities. But it's not impossible if you have the right guide to help you navigate all the complexities. This practical book shows developers, architects, and IT managers how to build IoT solutions on Azure. Author Blaize Stewart presents a comprehensive view of the IoT landscape. You'll learn about devices, device management at scale, and the tools Azure provides for building globally distributed systems. You'll also explore ways to organize data by choosing the appropriate dataflow and data storage technologies. The final chapters examine data consumption and solutions for delivering data to consumers with Azure. Get the architectural guidance you need to create holistic solutions with devices, data, and everything in between. Azure Data Lake is a product that implements the general idea of a data lake. A data lake is a data repository, like a file system, but it’s primarily intended to house massive amounts of data used for analytical purposes. Because it’s designed for analytics, it’s optimized for analytics, meaning that it’s typically going to be fast on retrieving data, but at the expense of other operations like scanning for files or random reads and writes on data in the data lake. If you’re looking for a book that speaks to holistic IoT solutions on Azure, you’re in the right place. This book has a little something for everyone in IT, including management, architects, engineers, and administrators.
