The SC-100 exam is designed for cybersecurity architects who design security solutions for identities, operations, infrastructure, applications, and data. It validates your ability to design solutions that align with security best practices and priorities, design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities, design security solutions for infrastructure, and design security solutions for applications and data.
SC-100 is for cybersecurity architects, security architects, and senior cloud security leads. Most work in banks, government, large enterprises, and security consultancies. Microsoft awards it after an associate security certification such as SC-200 or SC-300.
