Hello, and welcome to section 8.
In this section, we are going to talk
about "Configuring Security and Compliance".
For reference, you are right here.
So we are getting down to the very end of the course.
Keep up that momentum, you're doing fantastic.
So jumping in, for this section,
we are going to talk about security.
Now, security finds its way into
all Microsoft certifications, but in the DP-203
we're going to put a focus on data.
So kind of keep that in mind.
So, as we look at security and compliance,
the first thing is there's really 2 main concepts
or terms, the first being data auditing.
So we'll talk about data auditing,
which is going to include data retention,
and then figuring out how to configure and purge our data.
And then it's also going to be talking
about security of data as our second concept.
So we'll talk about data encryption.
We'll talk about sensitive information.
And then finally, of course, we'll have
our standard security concerns.
So we'll think about things like RBAC,
or securing various services.
So all of that is coming up in this section.
Just a few key points to remember.
First, your data is the golden goose.
So as we think about data security
and compliance, everything revolves around the data.
So you should to always start there,
and then think about who needs access,
and why they need access, and how you layer security.
And we'll talk about these concepts more in-depth,
but just kind of keep that point in mind.
Second, sensitive information could be restricting employees
with access, or blocking access entirely.
So if we have sensitive information,
we could think about employees that need access
to the data, but not all of the data.
So we could look at things like data masking, for instance.
Or we could think about employees that don't need access
to the data at all, and we'll be thinking
about how we lock them out of the system entirely.
And so, how do we build layers to protect the data
in the way that it needs to be protected?
So we'll talk about that.
And then, finally, don't forget about scenarios.
We've talked about this in quite a few of these sections,
but thinking about scenarios either in your daily work life,
or as we think about the DP-203 is definitely going
to help you on the exam, and it's going to help these
concepts to really sink in and mean something to you.
So don't forget about the scenario.
And with that, hey, let's jump in
and start section 8. See you there.
