About Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500
As businesses move their entire lives onto the cloud, the "perimeter" has changed. The AZ-500 certification is the gold standard for proving you know how to defend that new perimeter. This exam tests your ability to manage identity, implement platform protection, and handle security operations within Microsoft Azure.

Okay, this course isn't just theory – it's for IT folks who want to be hands-on with Azure security. The Azure Security Engineer Associate training shows you how to put security measures in place to protect everything – identity, data, apps, networks – whether it's all in the cloud or a mix (hybrid). You'll learn practical ways to check your security setup, find and fix problems, think about potential threats, stop attacks, and handle security alerts.
Our azure security engineer associate course uses the official Microsoft plan and is taught by trainers who really know Azure security. You'll get plenty of practice using the main Azure security tools.
When you pass the microsoft certified azure security engineer associate az 500 exam after this, you'll have proven you know how to keep Azure environments safe.
Skills You'll Walk Away With
After finishing this azure security engineer training, you'll actually be able to:
- Control Who Gets In:
Use Microsoft Entra ID (the new name for Azure AD) to make sure only the right people and apps can access things. Think multi-factor authentication (MFA), special access for admins (PIM), and setting access rules. - Protect the Foundation:
Secure your networks with virtual firewalls and network rules (NSGs). Keep your servers (VMs) and containers safe. Manage secret keys and passwords securely with Azure Key Vault. - Watch Over Everything:
Use Microsoft Defender for Cloud to see how secure your setup is and protect your cloud services. Use Microsoft Sentinel to gather security logs, spot threats, and even automatically respond to some issues. - Keep Data and Apps Safe:
Lock down databases and storage. Use encryption to protect data when it's stored or moving. Make sure your applications are built and run securely.
Is This AZ-500 Certification Right for You?
- The Microsoft Certified:
Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500) isn't usually the first Azure cert people get. It's for IT pros ready to focus on security. It’s likely a great fit if you: - Know Your Way Around Azure:
You've used Azure before, maybe managed things (like an AZ-104 Administrator) or built apps on it. - Care About Security:
You're the person who thinks about protecting systems, finding vulnerabilities, or responding to security issues. - Get Networking and Identity Basics:
You understand how networks connect (like TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls) and how user accounts work (like Active Directory). - Can Use Command Lines:
Knowing some PowerShell or Azure CLI is really helpful. - Want the AZ-500 Badge:
Getting this specific azure security engineer associate certification is your career goal.
Friendly Advice:
While not strictly required, having a good handle on Azure basics (AZ-900) and especially Azure administration (AZ-104) makes tackling the AZ-500 much, much easier.
Microsoft weights the exam across four main areas:
- Manage Identity and Access (25–30%)
- Implement Platform Protection (15–20%)
- Manage Security Operations (30–35%)
- Secure Data and Applications (20–25%)
The exam usually costs around $165 USD, but check the Microsoft site for local pricing. Our training packages often include everything you need to succeed on your first try.

The training was good. It would be great with some case studies on important concepts. The practical examples of concepts would be better rather than just the concept definitions. Thanks, Akhil for providing me with the training.

I found my instructor and the coordinator Alex Wood very easy to work with. They were VERY accommodating to my schedule, and I was very happy with the training, the presentation of the material and the quizzes that the instructor walked the class through at the end of each Chapter. I will take another class from them again.

I cannot express how great the instructor was and the overall content of the material. The way he taught was very clear in his method of teaching and provided a wealth of information about the CompTIA Network+. All my questions were answered and the class interaction was very good.

Dani is a very knowledgeable project manager, with real-life experiences and stories. He was able to take the slides provided by Sprintzeal and know if they were from PMBOK 5 or PMBOK 6, what was enhanced, what was deleted, and apply an example that made sense to the topic. Dani's biggest challenge was the GoToMeeting process and landing back on the slide deck after providing additional information to teach a particular point. It is challenging to teach people on different coasts, but he was able to and respect the time difference.
Review of Sprintzeal: Alex reached out to me and walked me through the entire registration process, answering all of my questions and there were many. I was supposed to have a live class, but because I ended up being the only person that did not cancel they transferred me into an on-line class and have offered an additional class to make up for that. I received my PMBOX 6 book ahead of class and found everything very straight forward. I hope that the three mock tests and assistance in completing my application are as clear and efficient as the rest of this has been.
I have 4 stars for the slide reading and technical challenges to date.
Thank you - Christi

Most people find it a step up, but not for the reasons you might think. While AZ-104 is about making things work, AZ-500 is about making sure they only work for the right people. It’s a total shift in perspective. You have to move past being the person who "sets things up" and become the one who finds every possible loophole an attacker might use. It’s a nitty-gritty, "assume the worst" kind of headspace that takes a bit of time to get used to, but once it clicks, it changes how you look at the cloud forever.
You don't have to, but honestly, it’s a huge help. Microsoft won't stop you from jumping straight into the AZ-500, but trying to secure Azure without knowing how to manage it first is like trying to install a high-tech security system in a building you’ve never walked through. We usually suggest getting your feet wet with the basics or the AZ-104 curriculum first—it makes the security concepts stick much better.
Absolutely. If anything, it’s more valuable now than ever. Companies aren't just moving to the cloud; they’re moving their most critical assets there. This means the need for an Azure Security Engineer Associate is skyrocketing. This badge tells employers you have the skills they’re desperately looking for today, which leads to better job options and that competitive azure security engineer associate salary everyone talks about.
The official AZ-500 exam usually runs about $165 USD (or roughly ₹4800 in India), but it’s always smart to check the Microsoft site for the latest local price. When you sign up for our azure security engineer training, we try to bundle in as much value as possible—labs, materials, and practice tests—so your exam fee is the only other thing you need to worry about.
It happens to the best of us! If you don't hit that 700/1000 passing score, you can retake it, but Microsoft does charge for each attempt and makes you wait a little while before you can try again. That’s exactly why we push the practice exams so hard—we want you to feel bulletproof before you spend that exam fee.
Yes, but don’t let that scare you. It’s valid for one year, which keeps your skills relevant in a fast-moving field. The best part? Renewing it is completely free. You just pass a quick, open-book quiz on Microsoft Learn to prove you’re still up to date with the latest tools and threats.
No certificate is a 100% guarantee, but having the Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate title on your resume is a massive advantage. It moves you to the top of the pile for roles like Security Analyst or Cloud Architect. Combine this badge with the hands-on experience you get in our labs, and you’ll be a very strong candidate for any team.
Frequently Asked Questions
We built this azure security engineer associate course for IT pros who already have a handle on the cloud but want to specialize. If you’re ready to stop being a generalist and start being the person who protects the infrastructure, this is your path.
You get the whole toolkit: live sessions with an expert, the official Microsoft study guide, access to our practice labs, and over 1,000 realistic exam questions. Plus, you get a full year of access to our portal so you can go back and refresh your memory whenever you need.
You can certainly find great info out there, but the AZ-500 is deep and complex. Self-studying often leaves you with "knowledge gaps" that the exam will find. Our training gives you a structured path, a live mentor to answer your toughest questions, and a safe lab environment to practice in. It’s the fastest, most reliable way to get that azure security engineer certification.
Content-wise? Not at all. You get the same experts and the same labs. The only difference is the "vibe." Live Online is great for saving time and learning from home, while Classroom is perfect for those who want that face-to-face focus and networking. Pick whatever fits your learning style.
Yep! Once you finish the course, we’ll give you a Course Completion Certificate. It’s a great way to show your employer (or your LinkedIn network) that you’ve put in the work and mastered the curriculum before you go for the official Microsoft badge.
