Further Information

  • AZ-500: Course Overview

  • This course provides IT Security Professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement security controls, maintain an organisation’s security posture, and identify and remediate security vulnerabilities. This course includes security for identity and access, platform protection, data and applications and security operations.

    As the Azure security engineer, you implement, manage, and monitor security for resources in Azure, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments as part of an end-to-end infrastructure. You implement and manage security components and configurations by using Microsoft Defender for Cloud and other tools. You ensure that the infrastructure aligns with standards and best practices such as the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB).

    Your responsibilities as an Azure security engineer include:

    • Managing the security posture.
    • Implementing threat protection.
    • Identifying and remediating vulnerabilities.

    You are responsible for implementing regulatory compliance controls for Azure infrastructure including identity and access, network, compute, storage, data, applications, asset management, backup and recovery, and devops security.

    As an Azure security engineer, you work with architects, administrators, and developers to plan and implement solutions that meet security and compliance requirements. You may also collaborate with security operations in responding to security incidents in Azure.
