The rise of the hybrid cloud has rendered traditional data center infrastructure security approaches insufficient. The modern IT professional must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to defend against an array of threats, such as threat actors trying to penetrate IaaS and PaaS resources hosted in public clouds. In this installment of the Microsoft Cybersecurity Stack series, instructor Pete Zerger demonstrates how to design and implement an approach to securing your data center and cloud infrastructure from a variety of internal and external threats. Pete goes over the features and benefits of Hyper-V guarded fabric, explores shielding data in VMs on guarded fabric, explains how to manage and respond to security threats, and discusses encrypting data in Azure virtual machines.
