Secure Windows On-Prem and Hybrid Infrastructures
Secure Windows On-Prem and Hybrid Infrastructures Overview
In today's fast-paced IT landscape, securing your Windows on-premises and hybrid infrastructures is paramount. This course will provide guidance and process to provide a robust security strategy that begins with fortifying the Windows Server operating system against both internal and external threats, ensuring that only authorized users have access and that their actions are monitored and controlled. For organizations leveraging a hybrid Active Directory infrastructure, synchronizing and securing identity management becomes critical, with Azure AD offering seamless integration to provide a unified identity across on-premises and cloud services. Azure services bring to the table advanced security remediation tools that proactively protect, detect, and respond to threats in real-time, keeping your infrastructure one step ahead of malicious actors. Moreover, securing Windows Server networking is about more than just safeguarding data in transit; it's about implementing robust access controls, encrypting traffic with up-to-date protocols, and continuously monitoring for unusual activity. Lastly, Windows Server storage solutions must be locked down with encryption, resilient file systems, and access policies that protect data at rest.

Welcome and thanks for
joining us for this overview
for a course on securing
Windows on-prem and hybrid
infrastructures. I'll be your
host for this course. My name
is Sophie Goodwin and I'm an
edutainer here at ACI Learning.
You may have seen me hosting
some other courses, mainly
cybersecurity stuff, but we're
going to be delving into the
world of Microsoft here in this
course. I'm certified in
cybersecurity through ISC2, and
I'll be asking questions along
the way. For those of you that
might have questions at home,
I'm going to act as a learner
advocate for you all. Of
course, with me, we've got a
special guest for this module,
Charles Pluta is going to be
teaching this course for us.
Charles, tell us a little about
yourself.
Thanks, Sophie. Hey,
everyone. My name is Charles
Pluta. I'm a Microsoft
Certified Trainer. I've been in
the IT industry for about 15
years, and I've been a MCT,
a Certified Trainer for about
10 of those. So happy to talk
to you today about this module.
We're going to be mainly
covering securing the Windows
Server, both in an on-prem and
a hybrid environment. So we've
got a few different scenarios
to go through. We're going to
be talking about things like
encryption, the Defender
Firewall, identity, and hybrid
identity with on-prem Active
Directory, as well as Azure
Active Directory or what's been
rebranded as IntraID.
Okay. So we also got a
little bit of insight into what
we're going to be learning in
this course. So looking ahead
at this module, that's some of
the things you can look forward
to. Then of course, we always
want to ask just for people
that are watching this and
maybe they're not quite sure,
if they're ready to jump into
this course, is there any
prerequisite knowledge we need
to have going into this?
Yeah, it would definitely be
helpful if you're already
familiar a little bit with
Windows Server, just the basics
of how to log in, manage,
create user accounts, create a
directory. Some of the things
that have been in the operating
system now for quite a few
years. Then there are Azure
components as well. So if
you're familiar with Azure
subscriptions, Active Directory
or IntraID tenants, just some
of the Cloud fundamentals.
If you haven't been through
like AZ 900, the Azure
fundamentals course would
definitely recommend going
through that before jumping
into this. Well,
all right. Thank you so much
for walking us through some of
that Charles. I'm looking
forward to getting into this
module with y'all. Thank you
for joining us for this
overview, and we'll see you in
the course.
