AZ‑500T00 Azure Security Technologies Training

AZ-500T00: Secure Cloud Resources with Microsoft Security Technologies is an instructor-led training course designed for security engineers, cloud administrators, infrastructure professionals, and IT practitioners responsible for protecting Microsoft Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Aligned with the Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate certification pathway and the current AZ-500 exam objectives, the course provides practical, hands-on experience implementing security controls, managing identities, protecting data, securing networks, and detecting threats across cloud infrastructure and services.

As organisations continue expanding their cloud footprint, securing cloud resources has become a critical business priority. Azure Security Engineers play a key role in implementing security strategies that protect identities, workloads, applications, data, and networks while supporting compliance and governance requirements. This course equips participants with the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to secure Azure environments using Microsoft security technologies and recommended security practices.

A major focus of the training is identity and access management. Participants learn how to secure identities using Microsoft Entra ID, implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), configure Conditional Access policies, manage privileged access, and apply role-based access control (RBAC) throughout Azure environments. These capabilities help organisations strengthen authentication, reduce risk, and enforce least-privilege access models across cloud resources.

The course also explores governance, compliance, and security posture management. Learners gain experience implementing governance controls using Azure Policy, security baselines, and resource management frameworks while aligning security practices with organisational and regulatory requirements. The training examines how Microsoft Defender for Cloud supports continuous security assessment, vulnerability management, and cloud security posture improvement.

Network security is covered extensively throughout the curriculum. Participants learn how to protect Azure environments using Network Security Groups (NSGs), Azure Firewall, Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS Protection, network segmentation strategies, and secure connectivity models. Through practical exercises, learners develop the skills required to design and implement layered security controls that protect workloads and data from external and internal threats.

Securing Azure compute, storage, and database services is another important component of the course. Participants gain hands-on experience implementing security controls for virtual machines, application workloads, storage accounts, data services, and cloud resources. Topics include encryption, secure configuration management, data protection controls, and methods for securing resources both at rest and in transit.

The training also focuses on protecting sensitive information and application secrets. Learners work with Azure Key Vault to securely manage secrets, certificates, encryption keys, and application credentials. These capabilities help organisations strengthen application security while reducing the operational risks associated with managing sensitive information.

Threat detection, monitoring, and incident response capabilities are integrated throughout the course. Participants learn how to use Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, security alerts, and automated response workflows to identify suspicious activity, investigate security events, and improve organisational threat visibility. These skills support modern Security Operations Centre (SOC) workflows and cloud threat management practices.

Additional topics include security operations, hybrid and multi-cloud security considerations, compliance reporting, security monitoring, incident investigation, and automated security remediation. Participants gain practical experience implementing security controls that align with Microsoft’s recommended cloud security practices and enterprise security requirements.

Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, participants learn how to secure Azure resources effectively while supporting business continuity, governance, compliance, and operational resilience. The curriculum aligns with the skills measured in the Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500) certification and provides practical knowledge that can be applied immediately within cloud security roles.

This course is ideal for Azure Security Engineers, Cloud Security Professionals, Security Administrators, Systems Administrators, Infrastructure Engineers, Cloud Engineers, SOC Analysts, DevSecOps Practitioners, and IT professionals responsible for securing Azure environments. Training is available across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra, as well as through live online delivery throughout Australia. A Certificate of Attendance is included upon completion.
