My 2 Key Takeaways From Taking The SC-900 Beta Exam
I have taken the SC-900 Microsoft Security Fundamentals beta exam. This is my first foray into Microsoft Security specifically. I have passed three Azure cloud certifications and want to learn more about security so I have taken the plunge. Here are my 2 key takeaways from sitting for the SC-900 exam.
The Training Resources Were Okay But You Do Need To Supplement Them
To study I have used
· Microsoft Learn learning path
· John Savill’s SC-900 Exam Cram
They were okay in my preparation. I have also supplemented these main resources which other Microsoft Learn modules, reading the Microsoft documentation and the Privilege Identity Management John Savill video.
I will also say that the SC-900 did not have any labs. Having used Microsoft Learn to pass my AZ-900 there were labs. With Microsoft Learn to master Azure cloud, you needed to be able to do some lab work. I would recommend that Microsoft Learn add some built-in labs around conditional access and Microsoft 365 so that the learned gets the full experience working with Microsoft Security. I am glad that I have done this because in beta you don’t know what to expect and these have filled in a lot of gaps.
