Many of our customers are wondering which certification to choose between MS-500 Security or SC-series (Microsoft Security)? Look no further, we got you covered in this article, where you´ll end up with an understanding of which certifications that will benefit you, your career and your organization.
The MS-500 certification is short for MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administrator, and is a rounded certification, that gives you a little taste about all features in the Microsoft 365 security world. It´ll give you a decent understanding regarding Microsoft 365 security. We recommend this certifications for IT professionals who wants a career in Microsoft 365, but also need to implement security strategies, and comply with company policies and regulations of the organization.
Whereas the SC-series, called the next generation series of Microsoft 365 and Azure security training, really focuses on individual topics. For example the SC-400, focuses purely on Information Protection, SC-300, is Identity and Authentication. So, very different and more in-depth than the MS-500 certification.
Of course at the end of the day the choice is entirely up to you. Do you go down the MS-500 certification which is perfect if you're focusing your career on Microsoft 365. Or do you take the SC or Security certifications, which is very focused on the specialist areas of security and a part of Microsoft Azure.
