Description

Microsoft Azure and its Identity and access management are at the heart of Microsoft's software as service products, including Office 365, Dynamics CRM, and Enterprise Mobility Management. It is crucial to master Microsoft Azure in order to be able to work with the Microsoft Cloud effectively. You’ll begin by identifying the benefits of Microsoft Azure in the field of identity and access management. Working through the functionality of identity and access management as a service, you will get a full overview of the Microsoft strategy. Understanding identity synchronization will help you to provide a well-managed identity. Project scenarios and examples will enable you to understand, troubleshoot, and develop on essential authentication protocols and publishing scenarios. Finally, you will acquire a thorough understanding of Microsoft Information protection technologies.

Who is this book for?

This book is a perfect companion for developers, cyber security specialists, system and security engineers, IT consultants/architects, and system administrators who are looking for perfectly up–to-date hybrid and cloud-only scenarios.

While Microsoft Azure (now renamed Microsoft Entra) has been around for over 15 years, I still come across many security and identity professionals who need help understanding fundamental concepts of Identity and access management as they pertain to Microsoft Azure. Interestingly, though, I see a common trend where the same professionals are well versed with its on-premise "cousin" Active Directory; maybe it is an age thing :-)Since there is a lot of excitement and activity around "Zero Trust" and Identity is a core aspect of Zero Trust Architecture, it is only natural for people to bring up Microsoft Azure as part of their identity discussion.Mastering Identity and Access Management with Microsoft Azure is a great resource; it will appeal to diverse audiences, from a system administrator looking for a practical hands-on guide to security/identity/cloud architects focused on architecting hybrid or cloud-only identity solutions using Microsoft Azure. Specifically, the Conditional Access and Data Classification chapters are of great interest and practical use.The book is an excellent resource for Identity Management Professionals.

If you took out all the screenshots from this book, I think there would be only 50 pages left with vague instructions that breeze through a light hands-on how-to of the various topics. There's little explanation of the tech and I don't see much learning happening with this format. I was hoping for something more organized than digging through Microsoft's online documentation, but I think the free online info would be the best place to learn this material.

James Fisher May 18, 2020

The lab focus is nice although not sure if it is relativistic to what individuals can actually do from home and on the cheap. Otherwise the content was consumable and relevant. My big pet peeve here is I have noticed with a lot of Packt books and I have many, the quality of the proof reading is way off and there are tons and tons of typos peppered throughout. This I have noticed is a trend with nearly all their books. Typos and poor sentence structure in the sheer volume present in this book and many of their other titles reduces overall credibility of the publisher and the author.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
