Online Training FAQs
The SC-500 course covers the implementation of end-to-end security controls for cloud, hybrid, and AI environments. You will learn about:
- Identity, access, and governance (Microsoft Entra, PIM, conditional access)
- Key Vault security (secrets, keys, certificates, access, and network)
- Storage, database, and network security (NSG/ASG,
- Private Link, Firewall, Defender)
- Compute security (VMs, hybrid servers, containers/AKS, App Services, Functions, WAF, API Management)
- AI security (controls and posture for AI workloads, Copilot/agents depending on scenarios)
