Data breaches happen frequently and hackers don’t discriminate, targeting small, midsize, and large organizations alike. These attacks cost companies millions of dollars every year. Microsoft Azure, a publicly available cloud service, provides data center physical security, guidelines, documentation, tools, and services to enable companies to protect their workloads. Cloud security with Microsoft Azure is a shared responsibility; and successfully completing Exam AZ-500 certifies that candidates are positioned to ably take on that responsibility. The exam tests knowledge of Microsoft Azure security technologies that protect identity, access, data, applications, and networks in cloud and hybrid environments.
Join expert Reza Salehi to learn what it takes to master the Azure platform and pick up application and data security best practices as you prepare to take the AZ-500.
