Discover the skills you’ll gain with Microsoft security and compliance solutions.

With 71% of organizations globally reporting unfilled cybersecurity positions, demand for skilled professionals who can architect secure, enterprise-wide solutions—such as Microsoft Cybersecurity Architects—continues to surge. (The CISO’s Guide to Navigating the Cybersecurity Skills Shortage)

Microsoft cybersecurity architects have subject matter expertise in designing and evolving the cybersecurity strategy to protect an organization’s mission and business processes across all aspects of the enterprise architecture. They design a Zero Trust strategy and architecture, including security strategies for data, applications, access management, identity, and infrastructure. They also evaluate Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies.

Cybersecurity architects continuously collaborate with leaders and practitioners in IT security, privacy, and other roles across an organization to plan and implement a cybersecurity strategy that meets the business needs of an organization.

If this is your skill set, then the expert-level Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert certification is the credential you need!
