I’m Dedrick. I work in computer security, currently focused on cloud security and identity - specifically Microsoft Entra, Azure, and the M365 platform. This is a site where I’ll write about what I’m learning as I go.

The plan is simple. I’m working on my SC-300 certification (Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator) over the next several weeks, building out a home lab in a Microsoft 365 developer tenant, and documenting work as I do it. Every domain I study, every lab I build, every concept that finally clicks it’ll show up here.

A few things you can expect:

  • Walkthroughs of identity and access scenarios in Entra ID conditional access, PIM, identity protection, hybrid identity, the kinds of things that look simple in a Microsoft Learn module and get complicated in production.

  • Notes on what I’m studying and what tripped me up.

  • Occasional writeups from real incidents.

I’m not an expert. Tips and trick will gladly be appreciated along the way :)

That’s it. More soon.
