IRC222 - Advanced Azure IR Strategies and Techniques

#1727593: IRC222 - Advanced Azure IR Strategies and Techniques - April 28 & 29, 2026

Description:	IRC-222 is an advanced-level course designed for SOC analysts and cloud security professionals who are ready to move beyond reactive threat hunting and into proactive cloud defense. This course builds on foundational concepts from IRC-220 and IRC-221 by introducing Azure Policy—Microsoft’s compliance and resource governance engine—as a critical tool for scalable security and incident response in Azure. Purpose: This course empowers participants to use automation not only to detect security misconfigurations and policy violations, but to remediate them at scale—before they evolve into active incidents. By leveraging Azure Policy, participants will explore how to enforce secure configurations, ensure logging consistency, and prevent insecure resources from being deployed in the first place. The course shifts the security mindset from reactive detection to proactive prevention. Learning Objectives: Participants will: -Explore the structure and intent of Azure Policy, including how conditions and effects govern automated responses. -Develop and deploy policy definitions using JSON to evaluate and enforce secure resource configurations. -Use policy to enable diagnostic logging, remediate non-compliance, and enhance visibility across distributed Azure environments. -Differentiate between Azure RBAC and Azure Policy in the context of security and compliance. -Apply policy-driven governance strategies to improve cloud incident response posture. Practical Experience: Labs include implementing an Azure Policy to enforce HTTPS-only access for all web applications—demonstrating the operational power and simplicity of policy-driven remediation in a real-world threat prevention context.
