Three months ago on 7th of April Microsoft announce a new exam for security architects and introduce again the existing exams SC-200, SC-300, AZ-500 and MS-500. The article contains the new announcement of the new exam SC-100 to become Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect.

Path to Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert

Now that I have passed the Azure Security exam AZ-500 and the Cybersecurity exam SC-100, I am especially happy to have reached the level of Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Expert.

Which prepare materials I used

Beta exams are available for a short time only. There is usually only 4-6 weeks from announcement to execution. Therefore, I have expanded the list to include content that makes sense to me and was not available at the time.

Microsoft learning

From my perspective the Microsoft learning center get a lots of improvements over the last couple of years and is a good adress to get a deep understanding of different cloud services and to prepare for existing exams.

To prepare for the SC-100 I used the following courses:

Microsoft releases a study guide document for the SC-100 that contains several information and links to prepare for the exam.

To prepare for the AZ-500 I`ve created a article about How I pass the Azure Security Exam Az-500.

Please let me know if you miss an interesting or great article that helped you prepare for the exam. Also feel free to leave a comment telling me what you thought of the exam.
