Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator Training (SC 300)

SC-300 focuses on managing identity and access using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). This course teaches how to secure identities, implement authentication mechanisms, and manage access to applications and resources

This course provides hands-on experience with identity governance, authentication, access management, and security. Participants will learn to implement solutions such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Conditional Access, and identity protection.

It also covers hybrid identity scenarios and integration with on-premises environments.
