MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administrator

Important notice about expiration!

This course has been retired as of June 2023.

The MS-500 was a very broad course/exam and the individual areas it covered have grown in complexity since it was originally created and developed into distinct roles. The MS-500 was no longer a good offering as one course/certification. That's why Microsoft has launched the 3 role based courses that replaces MS-500:

SC-200: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst

SC-300: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator

SC-400: Microsoft Information Protection Administrator

In this 5 day course you will learn about Office 365 Security: how to proactively secure M365 enterprise and hybrid environments, implement and manage security and compliance solutions, respond to threats, and enforce data governance.
This course will help you prepare for the new certification: Microsoft 365 Certified Security Administrator Associate.

Important notice!

We have extended this course from 4 days to 5 days to allow enough time to discuss important security topics.
