Prepare for Microsoft Exam AZ-500 and demonstrate your real-world knowledge of Microsoft Azure security, including the skills needed to implement security controls, maintain an organization’s security posture, and identify and remediate security vulnerabilities. Designed for professionals with Azure security experience, this Exam Ref focuses on the critical thinking and decision-making acumen needed for success at the Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate level.

The AZ-500 exam deals with advanced topics that require candidates to have an excellent working knowledge of Azure security technologies. Some of the exam comprises topics that even experienced Azure security administrators may rarely encounter unless they regularly work with all Azure aspects. To succeed in taking this exam, candidates need to understand how to manage Azure identity and access and implement Azure platform protection, manage Azure security operations, and secure Azure data and applications. They also need to be able to keep up to date with new developments in Azure security technologies, including expanded features and changes to the interface.

Exam candidates should have subject matter expertise in implementing security controls and threat protection, managing identity and access, and protecting data, applications, and networks in cloud and hybrid environments as part of an end-to-end infrastructure. Responsibilities for an Azure Security Engineer include maintaining the security posture, identifying and remediating vulnerabilities by using a variety of security tools, implementing threat protection, and responding to security incident escalations. Azure Security Engineers often serve as part of a larger team dedicated to cloud-based management and security or hybrid environments as part of an end-to-end infrastructure.

A candidate for this exam should be familiar with scripting and automation and deeply understand networking and virtualization. A candidate should also be familiar with cloud capabilities, Azure products and services, and other Microsoft products and services. To pass, candidates require a thorough theoretical understanding and meaningful practical experience implementing the technologies involved.
