This is a challenging time for everyone and I hope you are well. Many community conferences cancelled or moved to an online event. The online events give the oppurtunity to learn and discuss in an different way. The European Sharepoint Conference (ESPC) Team has announced the Azure Week between 25.05. – 29.05.20 as a webinar week.
The Azure Week has an great lineup with very useful sessions. Thomas Maurer open the week with a session about Modern Azure Cloud operations for IT Ops and I have the pleasure to close the week with a session about Azure Policy with Azure Security Center.
In this session we will dive into the many aspects of Azure Policy and Azure Security Center and see how they work together.
In the past I have taken several Azure exams, and yesterday I took the Azure Security exam Az-500. I am really glad that I passed the exam. In this article I will give you a brief overview of the topics I saw in the exam and what materials I used to prepare for the exam. I can say directly that the best way to succeed in the exam is practice.

I updated the article based on the latest information around Azure Bastion. One big announcement is the support for peered VNETs for Azure Bastion – this is also integrated in this article. Please feel free to share and comment 🙂
Azure Bastion is a new service to reaches Azure VMs in a secure way without needing a Jump host in the same VNET or to publish an Public IP for a VM. Many customers using Public IPs to reach VMs (Windows and Linux) in Test and Dev environment. Please avoid managing Azure VMs over a Public IP, this is unsecure – use Azure Bastion.
There are many new features and enhancements announced for Azure from the last Microsoft Ignite. I have written about many of them in the 1st part of this Article. This article will focus of the missed announcement in the first article.

Vor einigen Wochen hat Yubico zahlreiche Passwordless-Kits kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt. Um weitere Menschen von den zahlreichen Vorteilen des Passwordless Logins mit dem integrierten FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Standard, in Yubico Devices, zu überzeugen.

Das Starterpaket enthielt direkt 2 Keys den YubiKey 5 NFC (USB + NFC) und den YubiKey 5C (USB Type-C). Direkt nach dem Erhalt habe ich mit der Einrichtung begonnen – die sich sehr einfach gestaltet.

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) Systeme sind in den meisten Unternehmen bereits für Security Zwecke im Einsatz. Eine rein Cloudbasierte Variante hat Microsoft vor ca. 6 Monaten als Public Preview unter den Namen Azure Sentinel vorgestellt.
