my preparation for exam az-500, microsoft azure security technologies

I have prepared and successfully passed Exam AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies and would like to share here the resources I’ve leveraged to be prepared.

There is actually two good preparation guides out there, see below. I won’t go through the details of them, but it’s highly encouraged to leverage them:

• From Stanislas Quastana
• From Thomas Maurer

Furthermore, based on what I have learned while writing my Security with Microsoft Azure blog article few months ago, here are helpful resources I leveraged to complete my learning with more hands-on experiences:

• Microsoft Learn
  • Security, responsibility and trust in Azure
  • Secure your cloud data
  • Secure and isolate access to Azure resources by using NSG and service endpoints
• Security baseline on Azure, a Microsoft Cloud Workshop with whiteboard and hands-on lab
• Azure Security Center labs
• Microsoft Learning AZ-500 Labs

I have been learning a lot (yep, I still have room of improvements and learnings!) to improve my security posture while doing Architecture Design & Review sessions, this Azure Security Benchmarks resource is a good one to leverage on that regard.

Hope that helps, happy learning and please stay safe and secure! ;)
