Exam & Certification
Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert
This is the first expert-level certification in Microsoft’s Security, Compliance, and Identity portfolio. Expert-level certifications target higher level skills than their associate-level counterparts, which may focus on your ability to implement or configure various cloud services.
Cybersecurity architects continuously collaborate with leaders and practitioners in IT security, privacy, and other roles across an organization to plan and implement a cybersecurity strategy that meets the business needs of an organization.
This certification will focus on designing elements of a cybersecurity architecture and evaluating the tradeoffs between different solutions.
To be successful on this certification, you should already have advanced experience and knowledge in a wide range of security engineering areas including identity and access, platform protection, security operations, securing data and securing applications. You are also an excellent candidate for this certification if you have experience with hybrid and cloud implementations.
