Security Engineer

Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate

The AZ-500 sits at the intersection of infrastructure and security — the two hottest areas in cloud. Azure Security Engineers implement security controls, maintain security posture, manage identity and access, and protect data, applications, and networks in cloud and hybrid environments. This cert carries the highest incentive value in the Microsoft partner program at $10,000/year per designation, because Security is where Microsoft is investing most heavily. Partners with AZ-500-certified engineers on staff don't just qualify for the Solutions Partner for Security designation — they become eligible for the premium security engagements that carry the highest margins in the channel. With 505 practice questions, CERTIFY-Pro gives you the deepest question bank available for this critical cert. If you can only get one cert this year, the AZ-500's dual designation contribution to both Infrastructure and Security makes it arguably the highest-ROI credential in the entire Microsoft ecosystem.
