Evolving Microsoft 365 certifications help keep you in sync with the new era of work

The skilling requirements for the Solution Partner - Security currently require that "Each individual should be certified in Microsoft 365 Security Administrator Associate "

As MS-500 retires on June 30 with no similar replacement announced, what is the suggested path for an individual to meet these skilling requirements? Studying for and passing the exam just in time before it retires just to meet partner requirements is not very appealing. Perhaps the skilling requirements could be reviewed quickly to take more account of the security path heading down the SC-200/300/400 route and acknowledging the expert SC-100 exists?

For those above concerned about two exams being replaced for one for an expert level certification... I would much rather face the narrow focus of the MCSE+I exams back in the late 90s than the breadth and depth required by expert exams such as SC-100 and AZ-305 today (though acknowledging that expert status in these requires an admin exam too)
