- So let's get started with module one. In module one, we describe the concepts of security, compliance, and identity. Microsoft provides a range of security, compliance, and identity solutions to help protect customer data and meet regulatory requirements. Azure Security provides built-in features and partner solutions to help customers manage security responsibilities across the six functional areas. We look at operations, applications, storage, networking, compute, and identity. Microsoft also offers regulatory compliance initiatives which map controls to Azure policy definitions to assist with assessments. Microsoft identity platform provides modern authentication solutions, including multi-factor authentication, password policy enforcement, token-based authentication, and Azure role-based access control. Azure Active Directory is a comprehensive identity and access management cloud solution that helps secure access to data in applications onsite and in the cloud; it simplifies the management of users and groups.
