This prepares students with the expertise to design and evaluate cybersecurity strategies in the following areas: Zero Trust, Governance Risk Compliance (GRC), security operations (SecOps), and data and applications. Students will also learn how to design and architect solutions using zero trust principles and specify security requirements for cloud infrastructure in different service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).

The SC-100 Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect certification training is tailored for individuals seeking to become proficient in architecting and designing cybersecurity solutions within Microsoft environments. This course emphasizes equipping participants with the knowledge and skills required to assess and address complex cybersecurity challenges, create resilient security architectures, and integrate Microsoft security tools and technologies effectively. Upon completion of this training, individuals will be well-prepared to assume roles as Cybersecurity Architects, responsible for safeguarding critical assets and mitigating threats across a broad spectrum of Microsoft-based infrastructures.

Before attending this course, students must have:
    Highly recommended to have attended and passed one of the associate level certifications in the security, compliance and identity portfolio (such as AZ-500, SC-200 or SC-300)
    Advanced experience and knowledge in identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data and securing applications.
    Experience with hybrid and cloud implementations.
