Course Overview
The Microsoft Advanced Azure Security and Secure DevOps Practices course is designed for DevOps engineers, security engineers, and cloud administrators aiming to master secure application development and deployment on Azure. Aligned with the Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert certification and preparing candidates for the AZ-400 exam, this program integrates security into every phase of the DevOps lifecycle. Participants gain expertise in implementing continuous security, compliance, and governance across CI/CD pipelines, addressing critical industry needs. With 90% of Fortune 500 companies adopting DevOps practices, and 74% citing security integration as a top challenge, this training equips professionals to bridge the gap between development speed and robust security.
Students work extensively with Microsoft’s native tools, including Azure DevOps, GitHub Advanced Security, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, Microsoft Purview, and GitHub CodeQL, within the Azure Portal lab environment. Through hands-on labs, learners configure secure CI/CD pipelines, implement secrets management, and automate vulnerability scanning using Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools. A key project involves building an end-to-end DevSecOps pipeline that integrates threat modeling, automated security testing, and compliance validation, enabling real-time detection and remediation of risks such as misconfigurations and dependency vulnerabilities. These practical exercises ensure students can secure infrastructure as code (IaC) deployments and enforce governance policies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
This course not only prepares candidates for the AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions certification—a credential recognized by leading cloud employers—but also enhances career advancement in high-demand roles. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 20%, with DevOps engineers earning up to $135,000 annually. Koenig Solutions supports this learning journey with official Microsoft courseware, 1-on-1 mentoring, and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring flexible and reliable access to training.
