SC-900 Certification Exam Prep Material

I cleared the SC-900:Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals exam. In the preparation process I brushed up on Microsoft cybersecurity services and learned about all the new changes that have been introduced since Microsoft Ignite November 2021.

I was very impressed with the preparation material that is available on this topic (& for other Fundamentals certification exams) -

• MS Learn exam targeted Learning Path - ~6 hours, 16 modules
• Exam Cram video sessions: 214 minutes
• Free practice assessment 
• Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals Exam Ref SC-900 by Dwayne Natwick, Packt (2022)

I found a lot of useful illustrations along the learning path -
