SC-100 Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert training and certification exam preparation centre
Among Microsoft's certifications, SC-100 Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert (exam code SC-100 exam) is the one that covers hardening systems, spotting attacks and responding to them. Microsoft certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This is one of the harder credentials in the track and is aimed at people who design and defend architectures under scrutiny. Most candidates take it because a current or target employer treats it as evidence for hardening systems, spotting attacks and responding to them.
Our preparation runs on attack and defence scenarios, tracking the published Microsoft objectives end to end. Preparation is heavily scenario-driven, with design reviews and failure analysis.
The listed fee is USD 300; booked through WebAsha it is USD 199, a 10% saving. Microsoft sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Exam length, question count, passing score and validity are set by Microsoft and change between revisions, so confirm the current details on the official exam page before booking. Our advisors verify them with you when the voucher is issued.

Validity and any recertification requirement are set by Microsoft and change from time to time. Confirm the current terms on the official certification page. We flag the renewal path at booking so it does not surprise you years later.
