You will learn how to use SQL Server Management Studio to connect to Azure SQL and how to enable RBAC (role-based access control) for Azure AD administration by  using the GUI (graphical user interface), CLI (command-line interface), and PowerShell. You will learn to configure the Azure SQL Firewall, and to configure custom keys for Azure SQL TDE (transparent data encryption). This course then demonstrates how to conduct a SQL vulnerability assessment to determine security shortcomings. You will examine Advanced Threat Detection, and how to configure threat detection settings at the Azure SQL Server level and at individual database level. Finally, learn to enable threat policies by using CLI and PowerShell.
