Azure Fundamentals AZ-900: The Foundation for Cloud Success

Gain the essential knowledge and skills for cloud success with Azure Fundamentals AZ-900. Unlock the potential of Microsoft Azure Foundation.

Introduction

I am happy to announce that I achieved my Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Certification. The AZ-900 for me was an interesting exam. I went in thinking I was going to fail even after putting in 20+ hours of studying. I suppose it’s better to over prepare though. I was hoping to get 55 questions, so it gave me room for more mistakes however they only gave me 35 questions and I was shocked right out of the gate. With all my over studying I was able to breeze through the questions and pass the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Az-900 with a score of 805.

Increase Your Cyber Security Resilience

Increase Your Cyber Security Resilience because cyberattacks can come from any direction. They can paralyze an entire company.

Introduction

As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, security breaches have become a fact of corporate life. Cyberattacks are accelerating at an alarming rate as hackers and their use of technology, techniques, and procedures become more sophisticated and more cunning.

How can organizations stay ahead of cyber-criminals? Can they? Can they fight back or will they forever be playing catch-up? Is it enough to just use technology or must other approaches be taken?

As the world becomes more and more digital, people are becoming increasingly concerned about cyberattacks. The current security approach is to simply protect against external hacking. But it doesn’t work. To stand resilient against threats, companies must protect against cyberattacks continually and holistically, with enterprise-wide knowledge, skills and judgment.
