Learn Azure security with our Classroom and Online Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate Training at WebAsha Technologies. The course builds the knowledge and skills that Microsoft's AZ-500 exam measured before it was retired.
Training Overview:
The training covers how to implement, manage and monitor security for Azure, hybrid and multicloud environments. It follows the four skill areas of the last AZ-500 outline: identity and access, networking, compute, storage and databases, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud with Microsoft Sentinel. Microsoft retired the AZ-500 exam and the Azure Security Engineer Associate certification on 31 August 2026, so the exam can no longer be booked and the certification can no longer be earned or renewed.
Intended Audience:
This course is for security engineers, cloud security professionals and Azure administrators who implement and manage security for Azure environments.
Topics Covered:
-
Identity & Access: Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM.
