Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate – AZ-500

SKU N/A Category

The AZ-500 practice test trains you in monitoring security for resources in Azure.

Why should I take the AZ-500 exam?

The AZ-500 certification is a perfect fit for Microsoft Azure security engineers who want to validate their skills in implementing, managing, and monitoring security for resources in Azure, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments as part of an end-to-end infrastructure. The AZ-500 certification builds on the foundations provided by Microsoft’s AZ-900 exam, although the AZ-900 is not an official pre-requisite. After obtaining this certification, why not try your luck at one of the Azure Expert-level certifications, the AZ-400 or the AZ-305?

The AZ-500 practice test includes two different modes: certification and practice mode. Certification mode allows you to assess your knowledge and discover your weak areas, with practice mode allowing you to focus on the areas that need development.

Importance of Blockchain Courses

Blockchain courses focus on the fundamentals, core concepts, and applications of blockchain technology. Designed for learners at all levels — from beginners to experienced professionals — these programs build comprehensive knowledge of blockchain systems, cryptocurrencies, and their real-world applications.

Since blockchains are used to track assets and record transactions securely, the technology is highly robust and extremely difficult to hack. This is why blockchain powers cryptocurrencies and ensures safe, transparent online transactions. Courses like this help learners master key concepts and methodologies required to thrive in this domain.

Blockchain stores data in linked blocks secured with cryptographic hashes, which significantly enhance security. Learning blockchain is essential because it introduces a transformative way to manage data and trust — reducing reliance on centralized authorities such as banks or governments.

Blockchain technology also enables peer-to-peer transactions and offers full transparency. With its advanced structure, blockchain minimizes the potential for fraud and threats, making it one of the most trusted technologies of the future.

Become a Blockchain Developer

Becoming a blockchain developer is achievable if you have the right interest and dedication. The journey starts with learning programming languages that are critical for blockchain development. For example, C++ helps in Bitcoin development, while Solidity is essential for building on the Ethereum blockchain.

Beyond programming, you’ll need a solid understanding of blockchain concepts, fundamentals, and use cases. Practical exposure through real-world projects is just as important to build confidence and industry-relevant expertise.

A strong educational foundation also adds value — typically, a degree in computer science or mathematics strengthens your profile. Once you meet the basics, enrolling in a structured blockchain developer program at Ab Jeetenge will accelerate your journey and prepare you to become industry-ready.
