Hi
If you are reading this post, you are interested to learn more about Azure Security Technologies and pursuing the Azure Security Engineer Associate Certification.
As a pre-requisite you must succesfully complete the Exam AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies.
I had the opportunity to pass this exam when was on Beta, so I retrieved some resources that can help you to prepare towards the exam.
There are many Azure Services that are covered on the exam Like Azure AD,Azure Key Vault, Azure Web Apps, Log Analytics, Azure Monitor among others.
But don’t panic!, just to summarize the skills measured as detailed on the exam site :
- Manage Identity and Access
- Implement Platform Protection
- Manage Security Operations
- Secure Data and Applications
