Design and implement network security

Network security is the process of protecting resources from unauthorized access or attack by applying controls to network traffic, allowing only legitimate traffic/requests. Azure includes a robust networking infrastructure to support your application and service connectivity requirements.

Your security requirements might include:

• Authentication and authorization (for your application)
• Intrusion detection and response
• URL filtering
• Application access control
• DDoS protection

In this module, you will:

• Understand how to get network security recommendations with Microsoft Defender for Cloud
• Configure and monitor an Azure DDoS protection plan
• Implement and manage firewalls
• Implement network security groups (NSGs)1
• Implement a web application firewall (WAF) on Azure Front Door
• Configure a monitoring environment for networking
