Good Friday, everyone! Welcome back to the Defender Weekly Wrap. I have to say, since I reconfigured this newsletter to cover ALL Defender products instead of just Defender for Cloud and moved to weekly instead of bi-weekly, the subscriber base has grown steadily. So, it seems the move was a good one. I hope you are all enjoying the extra coverage alongside Defender for Cloud. Always feel free to reach out directly with questions, comments, and feedback. Sometimes it's easier to provide feedback through more official mechanisms, so I may host an official survey about this newsletter in the near future. So, stay tuned for that....One thing I want to highlight this week that affects everyone interested in Microsoft Security is something I also highlighted in our sister publication for Microsoft Sentinel.I don't know if you caught it this week, but we have a new SC-series exam coming: SC-100- Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect.Skills measuredDesign a Zero Trust strategy and architecture (30–35%)Evaluate Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies (20–25%)Design security for infrastructure (20–25%)Design a strategy for data and applications (20–25%)The exam is supposed to drop in beta in April and once you take it with one of the other security focused exams (SC-200, SC-300, AZ-500, or MS-500) you level-up to Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert.I know there a lot of people already excited about this one. and I'm really looking forward to this exam myself.
