- Deploy and configure an Azure Front Door, including Content Delivery Network (CDN), to enhance the performance and availability of web applications.
- Set up and manage a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect web applications from common web-based attacks.
- Make informed recommendations on when to use Azure DDoS Protection Standard to defend against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Goals
The module aims to equip participants with the knowledge and expertise necessary to design, implement, and manage a comprehensive security strategy for public access to Azure resources. Participants will be able to secure web applications, APIs, and network traffic effectively, ensuring the availability and performance of critical services while protecting against security threats.
