The Fortinet Certified Professional (FCP) Azure Cloud Security 7.4 Administrator certification (FCP-ZCS-AD-7-4) is designed for cloud security engineers, network administrators, SOC analysts, and DevSecOps professionals who are responsible for deploying, managing, and securing Fortinet solutions in Microsoft Azure environments. This course aligns with official Fortinet objectives and focuses on protecting Azure-hosted workloads, securing data flows, and managing advanced threats using FortiGate, FortiWeb, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer.

As enterprises increasingly migrate workloads to Azure, securing cloud infrastructure becomes critical. This certification equips you with the knowledge to configure, integrate, and optimize Fortinet security solutions in Azure environments, ensuring resilient cloud architectures and regulatory compliance.

Key topics include:

• Azure networking & security fundamentals: VNets, subnets, NSGs, route tables, and ExpressRoute

• FortiGate deployment in Azure: securing workloads, enabling VPNs, and inspecting east-west and north-south traffic

• Azure-native integration: leveraging Azure Firewall, Security Center, Monitor, and Sentinel for enhanced security visibility

• Identity & access control: configuring Azure AD, RBAC, and enforcing least privilege policies

• Application & API protection: deploying FortiWeb to mitigate OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

• Centralized policy management: integrating FortiManager for unified security configurations

• Threat detection & forensic analysis: using FortiAnalyzer for incident investigation and log correlation

• Compliance & reporting: aligning security configurations with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other frameworks
