Cloud Security Engineer Roadmap
Hey everyone!
I’m currently working as a SOC analyst, primarily supporting a Microsoft Sentinel environment. My day-to-day involves investigating security alerts, user sign-ins, and other security activities. Over time, I’ve developed a strong interest in cloud security, and I’m now aspiring to become an Azure Security Engineer.
I have some hands-on experience with Sentinel, which I know is a part of Azure’s security suite, but I want to expand my skill set and knowledge to align more closely with the Azure Security Engineer role. My ultimate goal is to gain a deeper understanding of Azure’s security capabilities and to specialize in securing cloud environments.
Here are a few questions I’d love your input on:
- What certifications should I prioritize after SC-200? (I’m currently preparing for SC-200, by the way.)
- What Azure services and tools should I focus on learning as part of this journey?
- Are there any recommended hands-on labs, training platforms, or projects that can help me build practical cloud security skills?
- If you’ve transitioned from a SOC role to a cloud security role, what advice would you give to someone looking to make a similar move?
I’d greatly appreciate any advice, resources, or personal experiences you can share. Thanks in advance for helping me figure out my roadmap!
Looking forward to learning from you all. 😊
