What you should know

- [Instructor] Let's take a look at what you should know to get the most out of this course. First, you should be familiar with some of the fundamentals of Azure, how to provision and use Azure services and resources. You should also have some familiarity with Azure Resource Manager, but even if you are a beginner and just starting your journey to the cloud, don't worry, this course will give you a good understanding and overview of the key features of Azure Security Center. Please note, I already have some resources up and running in my Azure account, so my environment will look different than yours, but everything I teach you throughout the course will be applicable to your setup. Also, some security features are available from a standard pricing tier and are not included in a free tier. You can upgrade your Azure subscription to the standard tier and have a 60-day free trial period, which should plenty of time to adapt and get familiar with advanced cloud defense features and tools. Before we start, I want to address one more important thing, when working with the cloud, constant changes are inevitable, so don't be surprised if some of the features I demonstrate have changed by the time you watch the course.
