Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification and Exam MS-500 retiring
As previously announced, we’re retiring the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification and its required Exam MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administration, on June 30, 2023. Security-related roles have evolved to deliver solutions in specialized areas—like information protection, operations, or identity management—using multiple technologies. Because of this evolution, this certification no longer has a distinct role. Skills for security administrators are included in certifications like Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate (Exam SC-200: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst), Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate (Exam SC-300: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator), and Microsoft Certified: Information Protection Administrator Associate (Exam SC-400: Microsoft Information Protection Administrator), each reflecting the depth of knowledge for its particular specialization. Summary of updates to the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification. The following questions and answers can help you determine how this news impacts your learning journey: I’ve been preparing for Exam MS-500. What are my options? If you’ve been preparing for Exam MS-500, be sure to pass the exam on or before June 30, 2023. I’ve already earned the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification.

El caso es que al utilizar certificados digitales a través del navegador (DNI electrónico, firma digital, etc) me encuentro en la lista de certificados uno nuevo con el nombre "e1dfe45e-7e3e-487f-bc8b-7d3ecdc3ef6c" Busco en los detalles del certificado e indica lo siguiente: Emitido para: "e1dfe45e-7e3e-487f-bc8b-7d3ecdc3ef6c" Emitido por: "e1dfe45e-7e3e-487f-bc8b-7d3ecdc3ef6c" Válido desde: 19/05/2022 Válido hasta: 19/05/2022 Clave pública: ECC (384 Bits) Parámetros de clave pública: ECDSA_P384 Huella digital: "ab6603e36181436531da22fa04ba534e539018db" Nombre descriptivo: "Microsoft Your Phone" Estado del cerficado: "No se confía en este certificado de raíz de CA porque no figura en el almacén de certificación raíz de confianza. " Todo esto me hace desconfiar y dudar de la veracidad y validez del certificado. No utilizo la aplicación "Your Phone" (esta aplicación vino integrada en Windows 10, no la permite desinstalar). Tampoco tengo el dispositivo móvil vinculado de ningún modo al PC. El servicio técnico a través de chat me indica que no me preocupe, que debe ser un error, y que restaure el sistema. Lo cual me hace desconfiar más. Por eso pregunto si alguien sabe si este certificado es normal, si es auténtico o si por el contrario es algún tipo de malware o algo parecido. Me resulta muy extraño que se despliegue como un certificado más en la lista del navegador (Chrome, Edge, en todos, también en Adobe pdf, etc.) ¿Alguien sabe? Gracias.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform?
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the choice of cloud platform can significantly impact a company's success. As businesses increasingly turn to the cloud for scalability, flexibility, and innovation, Microsoft Azure emerges as a frontrunner, offering a host of advantages alongside some considerations to keep in mind. Advantages of Microsoft Azure: Global Reach and Reliability: Azure's extensive network of data centers spanning regions worldwide ensures unparalleled reliability and low latency, empowering businesses to deliver seamless experiences to their customers, regardless of geographic location. Comprehensive Service Portfolio: Azure's rich ecosystem of services, including computing, storage, networking, databases, AI, and IoT, provides businesses with the tools they need to build, deploy, and manage a wide range of applications and solutions tailored to their unique requirements. Seamless Integration with Microsoft Ecosystem: With seamless integration with other Microsoft products such as Office 365 and Dynamics 365, Azure enables organizations to leverage existing investments and streamline workflows, driving productivity and efficiency gains. Robust Security and Compliance: Azure's advanced security features, including encryption, threat detection, and compliance certifications, instill confidence in businesses entrusting their sensitive data to the platform, helping them meet regulatory requirements and protect against cyber threats. Considerations for Microsoft Azure: Complexity and Learning Curve: While Azure offers unparalleled flexibility, navigating its extensive suite of services and configurations can be complex, requiring a significant investment in training and expertise to fully capitalize on its capabilities. Cost Management: Azure's pricing model, while flexible, can be challenging to predict and manage effectively, particularly for organizations with dynamic workloads. Proactive cost management strategies, such as resource optimization and budgeting, are essential to avoid unexpected expenses. In conclusion, Microsoft Azure stands as a formidable cloud platform, offering a compelling blend of global reach, comprehensive services, seamless integration, and robust security. However, businesses must approach its adoption thoughtfully, investing in the necessary skills and resources to navigate its complexity and manage costs effectively. By doing so, organizations can unlock the full potential of Azure to drive innovation, agility, and growth in today's digital-first world.
