Privileged Access Management: Securing Office 365 Environments

Uncontrolled administrative access is one of the greatest security vulnerabilities in modern cloud environments. This text-based course helps you secure your organization by establishing strict, granular control over elevated permissions. You will learn how to configure and manage privileged access management (PAM) in Office 365, shifting from permanent admin rights to a secure, Just-In-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Access (JEA) model. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Zero Trust security principles and identity governance. - Configure Just-In-Time access to grant temporary, time-bound admin rights. - Establish robust approval workflows for elevated administrative requests. - Apply Just-Enough-Access guidelines to limit exposure of sensitive configuration settings. - Monitor and audit privileged access activities to maintain compliance. - Integrate modern multi-factor authentication with privileged access workflows. The course begins with core security definitions and identity concepts before guiding you step-by-step through configuration scenarios, policy creation, and auditing practices. This course is designed for IT administrators, security beginners, and system integrators, requiring no prior security configuration experience.
