AZ-900 & SC-500: Microsoft Azure Fundamental & Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate (Vouchers Included)

Organizations continue to expand their use of cloud platforms, AI services, and intelligent applications. This increases the need for professionals who understand both core Azure concepts and the security controls required to protect modern cloud and AI environments, as well as endpoint devices and connected systems. This cloud security course will help you develop foundational knowledge and practical skills across Azure administration, cloud computing, and cloud-based networking environments.

This Azure cloud certification bundle starts with foundational Microsoft Azure knowledge—such as cloud concepts, core Azure services, cloud-based networking, including hybrid and virtual network architectures, as well as security, privacy, compliance, pricing, and support. You will then progress into advanced training which covers advanced security engineering skills for Azure and AI-enabled workloads, including networking, endpoint protection, and security operations. You will also learn how to design and implement security controls across identity, applications, networks, computing, storage, governance, threat protection, and AI-specific scenarios such as content filtering, prompt injection protection, and data leakage prevention.

By course completion, you will be better prepared to pursue the AZ-900 exam and build readiness for the SC-500 certification path. Gaining certification will validate your skills for an emerging security role that combines cloud security engineering with AI workload protection and increase your readiness to pursue cloud, security, and AI security roles in enterprise environments like hybrid and cross-platform ecosystems.

What you will learn

• Identify core Azure architecture, services, subscriptions, and management tools
• Recognize Azure security, privacy, compliance, governance, and trust concepts
• Understand Azure pricing, support, and service-level agreements
• Design and implement secure identity, access, and workload protection using Microsoft Entra ID, Azure RBAC, managed identities, MFA, and Conditional Access
• Protect infrastructure, applications, data, and secrets using Azure security services across network, compute, storage, database, and container environments
• Strengthen governance, monitoring, and incident response using Azure Policy, Key Vault, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, and Azure Monitor
• Secure AI workloads with private networking, responsible AI controls, and protections against prompt injection, data leakage, and insecure agent behavior

How you will benefit

• Improve your readiness for entry-level IT and cloud-related responsibilities by understanding networking, workloads, security, and Azure management basics
• Gain a starting point for pursuing additional Azure role-based and specialty certifications, supporting future certification progression
• Enhance your relevance for organizations seeking professionals who can secure Azure, Microsoft 365, hybrid environments, and AI-enabled applications
• Gain practical security patterns that can be applied to enterprise environments, including identity, network, application, data, and security operations use cases
