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.

I had the pleasant opportunity to follow the lessons of Toshal K. for the AWS Cloud Architect Associate, each explanation of the topics in the reference manual was followed by a meticulous investigation through the step-by-step creation of the inherent procedures. Overall, although I have not yet taken the exam, I can call it an extremely satisfying experience thanks to the availability and closeness of all staff members.

The CISSP training went well. We were able to joint the sessions on time. Trainer (Munaavar) is interactive person, so he gave examples to explain each and every concept. The training was on schedule related to the topics within CISSP. I liked the way he started the training by giving time to talk about the participants background. Totally, the training went well. I would rate with 4 stars.

I had the opportunity to take the ITIL 4 Foundations course through Sprintzeal and it was a great experience. My instructor was Courtney, and I feel she prepared me to take and pass the exam on my first attempt. Courtney is very knowledgeable, and her instruction method was conducive for a positive learning environment. I will request her in the future as I plan to expand on my knowledge in ITIL. Alex was vital in my successful enrollment and always a trusted agent to aid in my self development plan. Sprintzeal is a great organization to aid in your ability to better yourself through expert instruction.

Biswa created different handouts and worksheets that helped with the reviewing and were external to what the book was providing. Instructor tailored examples to our actual careers to help make understanding easier and more relatable. The course overall was extremely interactive.

Tim was beyond amazing. Not only did he know his craft, but he was also able to explain it to a level someone with the lowest level of knowledge could understand, without insulting the intelligence. I came in with barely any formal knowledge of the PM world and ended leaving with way more competency. Tim mixed personal experience and PMI terms/processes/knowledge areas to increase my understanding (it worked). Loved this class, loved the teacher. I will definitely recommend this class and more specifically, the teacher to other coworkers, friends and family. Thank you!

The course content is comprehensive and invaluable! I gained key understandings that I wouldn't have gained studying on my own. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable in PMI and PMP, with expert experience in project management. They made hard concepts easy to access through simplified visuals and ample resources! I am confident that this course has prepared me well to succeed and pass the PMP test. I highly recommend this course.
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.

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.
