Microsoft Azure now underpins everything from weekend side-projects to the digital cores of Fortune 500 giants. Missteps such as “BlueBleed,” where a single misconfigured Blob endpoint left 2.4 TB of Microsoft customer-support data visible to the Internet, demonstrate how one stray permission can ripple across tenants in hours. Azure secures the data centers, control plane and core services, but customers decide how their clouds are built and protected. As in ANY cloud platform… most of Azure Security is up to YOU!
The goal for this Free Upskill Challenge by Carlos Polop of HackTricks is to:
- Give you an introduction to the basics and best-practices for securing your Azure environment
- Show you some actions you can take immediately to reduce your attack surface
- Inspire you to learn even more far beyond the 20 – 30 minutes of this UC
Price = FREE!
What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for “UC – Azure Security”
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. No outside research is required.
