Course Overview
Securing cloud environments requires a strong understanding of identity, access control, threat protection, and platform security. Organisations using Azure must implement robust controls to protect workloads, data, and services across hybrid and cloud-native environments.
This mentor-led programme is aligned with the Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500) certification objectives. It focuses on implementing identity and access management, securing networks, protecting compute and storage, and monitoring security operations within Azure.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners explore how to configure security controls, manage identities, secure applications, and respond to threats. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to implement and manage security solutions across Azure environments.
