AZ-500 is a 4-day, live instructor-led course that teaches your security and infrastructure teams to implement, manage, and monitor security across Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Covering identity, networking, compute, and security operations with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Sentinel — your team builds the skills to protect what matters most. Delivered by Microsoft Certified Trainers with hands-on labs in real Azure environments.

Every new workload, identity, and network connection expands your attack surface. Without engineers who understand Azure-native security controls, you're relying on hope instead of hardened infrastructure.
Your team provisions resources quickly, but security configurations are bolted on later — or missed entirely. Misconfigured network security groups, overly permissive access policies, and unencrypted storage are creating vulnerabilities that won't show up until an audit or a breach.
Microsoft Entra ID is managing thousands of identities, but your team doesn't have a consistent approach to conditional access, privileged identity management, or service principal security. Every ungoverned identity is a potential attack vector.
You're paying for Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Sentinel, but nobody on the team knows how to configure them properly. Security recommendations pile up, alerts go uninvestigated, and your compliance score stays red — because the tools are only as good as the people running them.
AZ-500 is for technical professionals responsible for securing Azure environments. Azure administration experience (AZ-104 level) is required.
Implement and manage security controls across identity, networking, compute, and data. Build the skills to harden Azure environments against real-world threats and pass security audits with confidence.
Add security depth to your infrastructure skills. Learn how to provision resources securely from the start — including network segmentation, encryption, key management, and managed identities.
Design secure-by-default architectures that meet compliance requirements. Understand how identity, network, and data security controls work together in production Azure environments.
Understand the technical controls that underpin your compliance posture. Learn how Microsoft Defender for Cloud maps to regulatory frameworks and how to interpret security recommendations.
Integrate security into your CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows. Learn how to secure containers, app services, and deployment pipelines in Azure.
Set security standards across your team. Gain the technical depth to review security configurations, evaluate risks, and drive a culture of security-first cloud engineering.
The AZ-500 curriculum follows Microsoft's official 4 learning paths. Your team gets a structured walkthrough of Azure security engineering — delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
After four days of hands-on security engineering, your team returns to work ready to harden your Azure environment — not just document policies.
Your team will implement conditional access, PIM, and managed identities with confidence — closing the identity-based attack vectors that cause the majority of cloud breaches.
From NSGs and Azure Firewall to Private Link and DDoS protection, your engineers will know how to segment, isolate, and protect network traffic across your entire Azure environment.
Configure Microsoft Defender for Cloud properly. Your team will know how to interpret security scores, prioritise recommendations, and map controls to compliance frameworks that matter to your organisation.
The Azure Security Engineer Associate certification validates your team's ability to secure Azure environments — a credential recognised by enterprises and regulators worldwide.
Configure Microsoft Sentinel for real-time threat detection. Your team will write KQL queries, build analytics rules, and set up automated response playbooks that actually work.
Each program includes guided hands-on labs in a live sandbox environment. Your team doesn't just hear about Azure services — they use them, guided by a Microsoft Certified Trainer in real time. Labs remain open for 180 days for sharpening those technical skills.

Everything you need to know about AZ-500 Azure Security Technologies training with Bespoke.
AZ-500 is a 4-day (approximately 32-hour) live instructor-led course. It's delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer, so your team can attend virtually from anywhere in Australia, New Zealand, or Singapore — or we can deliver onsite at your office.
AZ-500 requires a solid understanding of Azure administration — ideally at AZ-104 level. You should be comfortable with virtual networks, storage, compute resources, and Microsoft Entra ID. Experience with PowerShell and Azure CLI is recommended.
Certification exam vouchers can be included as part of your team program. We'll discuss the right approach during your discovery call — some teams want everyone to certify immediately, others prefer to focus on building capability first.
AZ-500 focuses on securing Azure infrastructure — identity, networking, compute, and data protection. SC-200 focuses on security operations — threat detection, incident response, and threat hunting using Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR. Many organisations train both roles as complementary capabilities.
Yes. AZ-500 includes a major module on managing security posture and threat protection using Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel — covering workload protections, security alerts, compliance monitoring, and the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark.
Yes. Zero trust principles are woven throughout the course — from identity verification and least-privilege access to network segmentation, conditional access policies, and continuous monitoring. Your team learns to implement zero trust as an architectural practice, not just a buzzword.
